[G] [Am] [G] [Em] [D] [G]
[G] [Em] [D] [G]
But she swept through the church like [Em] a [D] sweet Sunday [G] prayer
[C] While the choir sang [G] son of heaven [Em] and the angels walked [D] on air
[G] I was healed in time of Jesus [Em] when the [Bm] waiting bell [G] began
[C] And I saw the most [G] beautiful woman [Am] getting married [Em] to a [G] handsome [D] man
She [Bb] walked like a mystery and she passed like summer rain
And [Eb] she said I do [Bb] like an angel [Gm] but I never knew [F] her name
[Bb] Oh the song recanted but in darkness I remain
[Eb] In love with the bride [Cm] of a [Bb] handsome [F] man but I never knew [Bb] her name
[G] Zadowah holey, [Em] I [D] burned my [G] tempted heart
[C] Whispered [G] words that never reached her [Em] as her vows were made [D] at last
[G] For the preacher with his blessing [Em] [G] pronounced the man wise
[C] And I saw the most [G] beautiful woman [Am] make a promise [Em] to be [G] careful [D] of the light
[Bb] She walked like a mystery and she passed like summer rain
[Eb] And she said I do [Bb] like an angel [Gm] but I never knew [F] her name
[Bb] Oh the song recanted but in darkness I remain
In [Eb] love with the [Cm] bride of a [Bb] handsome [F] man but I never knew [Bb] her name
[Db] [Ab]
[Eb] [Db] [Ab] [Eb] Like [Db] [Ab]
[Eb] [G] [Cm] [C]
[F] [Bb] a mystery [Gm] I passed [F] like [Bb] summer rain
[Eb] And she said I do [Bb] like an angel [Gm] but I never knew [F] her name
[Bb] Oh the song recanted [Gm] but in [F] darkness [Bb] I remain
[Eb] In love with the [Cm] bride of a [Bb] handsome [F] man but I never knew [Bb] her name
Like a mystery [Gm] [F] I passed [Bb] like summer rain
[Eb] And she said I do [Bb] like an angel [Gm] but I never knew [F] her name
[Bb] Oh the song recanted but [Gm] in [Bb] darkness I remain
[Eb] In love with the [Cm] bride of a [Bb] handsome [F] man
[Eb] I'm in love with the [Cm] bride of a [Bb] handsome [F] man
But I never knew [Bb] her name
