I Knew The Bride(Chords)

	        
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

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
