I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll.
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll.
[Em] [B] [E]
Well, the bride looks a picture in the gown that her mama [B] wore.
When she was married herself nearly 27 years [E] before.
They had to change the style, her little buddy looked [B] just fine.
Slayed up all night, but they got it finished [E] just in time.
Now I'm on the arm of her daddy, she's walking [B] down the aisle.
I see her catch my eye and give me a [E] secret smile.
Maybe it's too old-fashioned, but we once [B] were close friends.
Oh, but the way that she looks today, she never [E] could outlive.
Well, I [A] can see her now in her tight [E] little jeans.
Poppin' all her money to the record machine.
[A] Screaming like the cops, you should have seen her go.
[E] I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll.
I knew [F#m] the bride [B] when she used to [E] rock and roll.
[B] [E] [B] [E] Well, a proud daddy only wanted to give his little [B] girl a mess.
So he put down a grand on a cozy little love [E] nest.
You could have called a reception an unqualified [B] success.
At a flash hotel for [E] 150 guests.
What can you look at the bridegroom smiling, [B] fleeting by?
Shaking hands all around with a glassy [E] look in her eye.
He got a real good job and a shirt and [B] tie is nice.
But I remember a time when she never would have looked at [E] his wife.
[C#m] Oh.
Well, I [A] can see her now drinking with the boys.
[E] Bringing their hunts like they were toys.
