Chords for Huey Lewis & the News - I Knew The Bride When She - 5/23/1989 - Slim's (Official)

_ _ I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll with [Em] me.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ [Em] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ [E]
Well, the bride looked a picture in a [B] gown that her mama wore
[F#m] When she was [B] married herself nearly 27 [E] years [C#] before
_ [E]
They had to change the style, little money [F#m] looked just fine
[B] _ _
Stayed up all night, but they got it finished [Em] just in time
_ [E]
Now on the arm of her daddy, [B] she's walking [F#m] down the aisle
[B] _
I see her catch my eye and give me a [C#] secret smile
_ [E]
Maybe it's too old-fashioned, but we once [F#m] were close friends _
I'm hooked [B] the way that she looks, two days you [E] never could have them
[A] Well, I can see her now in her tights and jeans
[E] Pumping all the money in the rent and [A] the scene
She's spinning like a top, you should have seen [E] her go
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
_ [B] _ [Em] _ I _ _
_ _ [B] _ [Em] [B] was proud that he only wanted [C#] to give the little girl the [F#m] best
_ So [B] he put down a brand on her cozy [E] little lover's nest
_ You could have called the reception an unthought [B]-for success
At a flash hotel were [E] 150 guests
_ Well, take a look at the bride, roof smiling, [F#m] pleased to find
_ [B] Shaking hands all around with a glass [E] look in his eye
_ [B] He's got a real [E] good job and his shirt [B] tie is nice
_ [F#m] But I remember the time when she never would [E] have looked at it twice
_ [A] Well, I see her now drinking with [E] the boys
Breaking their hearts like they were [A] toys
Spinning like a bunny, she used to want [E] to burn
I _ _ knew the [B] bride when she [E] used to rock and roll
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ [A] _
_ _ [E] See _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ [E] _ _ _ [B] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [A] her now with her bald man [E] on
Jumping up and down to a barrel of salt
[A] I still remember when she used to want to make a lot of [E] noise
Hopping and a-bopping with her sweet foreign [A] voice
She used to want to party, she used to want to [E] go
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
_ [A] _ [B] _ [E] _ _
_ _ Used _ [B] _ [E] to _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ [E] _ _
_ [Em] want to party
[B] Used _ [Em] _ _
_ to do the pony
[B] She [E] _ [Em] _
used to want to party
_ [B] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
