I Knew the Bride (When She Used to Rock & Roll) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Wel[G]l, [D]the bride looked a picture
in the gown [G]that her mama [A]wore
When she was married herself nearly
twenty- seven years be[D]fore
She [G]had to change [A]the style [D]a l[G]ittle
[D]but it looked just [A]fine
They stayed up all night,
but they got it finished just [D]in time

[Verse 2]
Now on the arm [D]of her daddy,
she's a- 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 close [A]friends
Oh but the way that she looks today,
she never could [D]have then.

[Verse 3]
Well I can [G]see her now in the
tight blue jeans
[D]Pumpin' all the money
in the record machine
[G]Spinnin' like a top,
you shoulda seen [D]her go[A][D]
I knew the bride when she [A]used [D]to[A]
[D]rock and [A]roll [Repeat: x4]

[Verse 4]
[D]Now her proud [A]daddy only [D]wanna
give his little girl the be[A]st
And so he put down a grand on
a cozy little lover's [G]nest[D][G][D]
You could've called the [A]reception
[D]an unqualified suc[A]cess
At a flash hotel for a hundred
and fifty guest[D]s

[Verse 5]
[D]Take a look at the bridegroom
smilin' pleased [A]as pie
Shakin' hands all around with
a glassy look in his [D]eye
He got a real good job and
his shirt and tie is [A]nice
But I remember a time when she would
never even look [D]him twice

[Verse 6]
[D]But I can [G]see her now drinkin'
with the boys
[D]Breakin' their hearts like
they [G]were toys
She used [D]to do [A]the [D]pony,
she used to do the stroll
I knew the bride when she used to
[A]rock and [G]roll [Re[D]peat: x4]
[G]Well[D]

[Verse 7]
[C]I c[G]an[D]
[G]see her now
with her headphones on
[D]Jumpin' up and down to
her favorite song
I still re[G]member when she used to
wanna make a lot of noise
[D]Hoppin' and boppin' with the
street corner boys
[G]She used to love to party,
[D]she used to love to go[A][D]
I knew the bride when she used to rock
[G]and roll [Repeat: x4]

[Outro 1]
Hey!
[G][D]
