Intro: E 

verse 1 
E                                                          B7 
Well, the bride looked a picture in the gown that her mama wore 
B7                                                       E 
When she was married herself nearly twenty-seven years before 
E                                                          B7 
They had to change the style a little but to me it looked just fine 
B7                                                         E 
They stayed up all night, but they got it finished just in time 

verse 2 
E                                                     B7 
Now on the arm of her daddy, she's a-walkin' down the aisle 
B7                                          E 
I see you catch my eye and give me a secret smile 
E                                                    B7 
Maybe it's too old-fashioned, but we once were close friends 
B7                                                         E 
Oh but the way that she looks today, she never could have then. 


A Well I can see her now in her tight blue jeans E Pumpin' all the money in the record machine A Spinnin' like a top, you shoulda seen her go E B7 E I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll E B7 E I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll E B7 E I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll E B7 E I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
verse 3 E B7 Now her proud daddy only wanna give his little girl the best B7 E And so he put down a grand on a cozy little lover's nest E B7 You could've called the reception an unqualified success B7 E At a flash hotel for a hundred and fifty guests verse 4 E B7 Now take a look at the bridegroom smilin' pleased as pie B7 E Shakin' hands all around with a glassy look in his eye E B7 He got a real good job and his shirt and tie is nice B7 E But I remember the time when she would never even look at him twice
A But I can see her now drinkin' with the boys E Breakin' their hearts like they were toys A She used to do the pony, she used to do the stroll E B7 E I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll E B7 E I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll E B7 E I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll E B7 A I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
Instrumental E Outro A Well I can see her now with her headphones on E Jumpin' up and down to her favorite song A I still remember when she used to wanna make a lot of noise E Hoppin' and boppin' with the street corner boys A She used to love to party, she used to want to go E B7 E Wo, I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll E B7 E I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll E B7 E I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll E B7 A D A D A E I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
