[D][E][Em][D][Em]
[E]Well, she came

[Verse 1]
down from the mountains
[Esus4]On her only w[E]edding day
[Esus4]And the wa te[E]r f[Em]rom [E]the fountains
[Em]tasted like the [E]wine you made
[Em]At the
[D]Hotel
Monte
Vista, they waited for
Emily
To [Esus4]marry her[E] mi[Esus4]ster, jok[E]e like
Riley [Em]was his [D]name[Bm][Em][E][Em][D]
[E]80, [Em]80, for [E]a thre[Em]e -tiered wedding cake[E]
In [Em]long [E]white bill and slippers,
the ones [Em]her mama made
[E]On [Em]the mante[D]l, fre[Dsus4]sh cut flowers,[D]
two glasses for champagne
And
Virgini[E]a, play piano,
I'll be loving you [D]al [Em]ways[E][D]
[Em]Well, [E]wedding party gathered
[Em]An d[E] the roo[Em]m was bathed in blue
[E]They all turned [Em]their
[E]heads and wondered
[Em]At your riley innocent
And his [D]father, the traveling [Dsus4]preach er[D],
stood there like, how do you do?
Every[E]body [Em]looked [E]like
[Esus4]Sunday,
Sunday [Em]1942.[E][Em]
Down the [E]stair[Em]way, [E]down the stairway
Step by [Em]step, it came [D]and [Esus4]went
[E]Her face all pale and [Em]ashy
She looked away, so lonely
[D]In [Em]a heart[D]beat, in a[Dsus4] heartbeat[D],
the wedding [Dsus4]march beg[D]an
And she [E]walked up with her daddy,
and she took
Jonah [Em]by his h[E]and[Em][Esus4]
[Em][D]
[G][D][Dsus4][D][Em][E][Esus4][E][D]
[E]Go tell mama, go tell papa
I am not feeling [Esus4]well
I am [E]running [Em]to meet my ma[E]ker[Em]
And I have [E]a tale to tell
[Em]There was [D]me and there was
Abby
We were floating [Dsus4]on a moon[D]
And she [Em]cried,
Lord forgive me
[E]Such a true [Em]love [E]to [D]forsake
[Em]The[E][Em][E][Esus4][D][E]
[Em]Hotel
Monte
Vista
Sit[E]s h[Em]igh up o[D]n a hill
It's been there one [D]hundred years now
[D]It will stand one hundred still
[D]Now the mountains, now the mountains
Are a faded memory
The one [E]thing [Em]I re[E]member
[D]Is the fai[Em]rest[E]
