Verse 1:
(C) (F) (C) I once met a young girl filled with fire,
(C) (G) (C) That saw through my front to this shell of a man
(C) (F) (C) She knew I'd be a handful from the start,
(C) (G) (C) This strong willed woman had an angels heart (Electric Guitar kicks in now)
C F C The holes in these wings don't allow me to fly
C G C So you'd better brace for a life of pain,
C F C And if fate is the path to this better life
C G C Somehow I feel you'll never see the faces change Chorus:
F* G* Through thick and thin, She stood by you Fill She held the key to my broken heart

Verse 2:
C* F* C* I look back and wonder, sit and ponder,
C* G* C* How I could have ever neglected you?
C* F* C* For the blood soaked soil on the old ball field,
C* G* C* I gambled on a hand I wasn't ready to lose
C F C But if the tables were turned, and I faced the troubles,
C G C Tough times and struggles I put you through
C F C I'd of been there as you were through hardship and horror
C G C My life and my love are pledged to you Chorus x1 Fill x1 Bridge:
F C G C Remember the nights she waited and wondered,
F C G Fused to a myth that it had taken it's toll.
F C G C But this Godless man has mended his way,
F G Never again will she be alone... Verse Lead x2 Verse 3:
(C) (F) (C) I remember it well, still I always knew
(C) (G) (C) That she was destined to be my bride
(C) (F) (C) This woman had pride, she was full of life,
(C) (G) (C) I could see the passion in her eyes.
C F C She thought she found a man, But she fell for the devil
C G C An evil monster in disguise.
C F C Now I'll honor and obey, forever stay.
C G C True to you, my Irish rose Chorus x1 Fill x2
