I Knew The Bride Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Well, [D]the bride looked a picture
[Bm]in the g[D]own that her mama wo[A]re
When she was married at seven,
it was twenty -seven years before
[D]They had to change the style a little,
but it looked just [A]fine
They [F#m]stayed [A]up all night,
but they gotta finish up in [D]time
Well, on the arm of [A]her dad,
she's a [D]-walkin' down the [A]aisle
And she catches my eye
and she gives me a secret [D]smile
Maybe it's too old -fashioned,
but we once were [A]close friends
But by the way that you look today,
she never could [Dm]have [D]answered
Well, I can [G]see her now
in her tight blue jeans
Plumb[D]ing all her money in
the record machine
[G]Spinning like a top,
you should have seen her go
[D]I knew the bride when she u[A]sed
to rock and [D]roll[A][D][A][D][A]
[D]Well, her proud daddy
only wanted to give his little girl a [A]face
So he put down a friend
on the coast of Andaluri[D]aness
You could have called a reception
an overnight suc[A]cess
They had a flash hotel
with a hundred and fifty [D]guests
[G]Tak[A]e a look at the[D] bri[A]degroom
[D]smiling pleased as pie[A]
Shaking hands all around
with a flashy look in his [D]eye
You gotta do a good job
and show the ties [A]nice
But I remember a time
when she would never even
look at him [D]twice
Well [G]I can see her now,
drinking with the boys
Break[D]ing their hearts like they were toys
He [G]used to do the phony,
she used to do the strobe
I [D]knew the bride
when she [A]used to rock and [D]roll
I knew the bride
when [A]she used to rock and [D]roll
I knew the bride
[A]when she used to rock and rol[D]l
I knew the bride
when she [A]used to rock and [D]roll[G]
[Gsus4][G][Gm][G][Gm][Dm]
[A]
Well, [G]I can see her now
with her headphones on
Jumpin' [D]up and down to her favorite song
I [G]still remember when she used to
wanna make a lot of noise
[D]Hoppin' and boppin' where
the streets called her by
[G]Used to run the party, she used to wanna go
[D]I knew the bride
[Dm]when[D] she used [A]to rock and roll[D]
I knew the bride
when she [A]used to rock and [D]roll
I knew the bride
when she [A]used to rock and [D]roll
I'm in the prime,
won't you [A]use the rock and roll, hey!
