I Knew The Bride

E


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

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

[Chorus 1]
           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      
I knew the bride when she used to 
         E
rock and roll
  E                       B7      
I knew the bride when she used to 
         E
rock and roll

  E                       B7      
I knew the bride when she used to 
         E
rock and roll
  E                       B7      
I knew the bride when she used to 
         E
rock and roll

[Verse 3]
E                                 
Now her proud daddy only wanna 
                      B7
give his little girl the best
B7                                
And so he put down a grand on a 
                   E
cozy little lover's nest
E                                 
You could've called the reception 
                   B7
an unqualified success
B7                                
At a flash hotel for a hundred and
       E
 fifty guests

[Verse 4]
E                                 
Now take a look at the bridegroom 
                   B7
smilin' pleased as pie
B7                            
Shakin' hands all around with a 
                     E
glassy look in his eye
E                                 
He got a real good job and his 
              B7
shirt and tie is nice
B7                             
But I remember the time when she 
                               E
would never even look at him twice

[Chorus 2]
          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      
I knew the bride when she used to 
         E
rock and roll
  E                       B7      
I knew the bride when she used to 
         E
rock and roll
  E                       B7      
I knew the bride when she used to 
         E
rock and roll
  E                       B7      
I knew the bride when she used to 
         A
rock and roll

           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  
Wo, I knew the bride when she used
             E
 to rock and roll
  E                       B7      
I knew the bride when she used to 
         E
rock and roll
  E                       B7      
I knew the bride when she used to 
         E
rock and roll
  E                       B7      
I knew the bride when she used to 
         A     D A  D A  E
rock and roll
