It Should Have Been Me Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][D][C][Em]

[Verse 1]
I saw my [Em]love
walking down the aisle
And as he passed me by,
he turned And he [G]smiled
The [Em]preacher joined
their [Am]hands
And all [D]the people began to stand
When I shouted:

[Verse 2]
"You know that [G]should have been me
[Em]Instead of her walking with you
You know that it [Am]should have been me
Getting ready [D]to marry you
[C]Darling, darling
You made a promise that
we'd never [G]part
And then you turned [Em]around
And [G]broke [C]my heart
Now you're standing there
saying 'I [Em]do'
[D]Holding hands with somebody new
It [G]should have been me
[Em]Instead of her standing by you
You know [Am]that it should have
[D]been [G]me
Getting ready to say 'I do'!"

[Verse 3]
[G]Then the preacher asked,
"Will there be silence, [Am]please?
If any [C]objections to this wedding
[G]Speak now or [D]forever,
[G]forever [D]hold your peace"
Then I shouted:

[Verse 4]
"It [G]should have been me
You [Em]know that it should
have been me
You know that it [Am]should have been me
Darling, how could [D]you do this to me?
People let [G]me tell you now
It [Em]should have been me
Instead [Am]of h[D]er s[G]tanding by you
You know that [Em]it should
have been me
[Am]I've always been faithful
[D]And[G] true!"
[Em][G]
