Status Quo - I Knew the Bride: chords

           D
Well the bride looked a
                                    A
picture in the gown that her momma wore
When she was married herself nearly
                      D
twenty-seven years before
They had to change the style
                             A
a little but it looked just fine

Stayed up all night but they got it finished
        D
just in time

Now on the arm of her daddy she's
walking down the aisle
And she catches my eye and she gives
me a secret smile
Maybe it's too old-fashioned but
we were once close friends
But the way she looks today she
never could have then

Chorus:
            G
Well I can see her now in her tight blue jeans
 D
Pumping all her money in the record machine
  G
Spinning like a top, you shoulda seen her go
D                         A                 D
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
                          A                 D
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
D
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
                          A                 G
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

Now a proud daddy only wanna give
his little girl the best
So he put down a grand on a cosy
little lovers nest
You could have called the reception
an unqualified success
And a posh hotel for a hundred and fifty guests

Chorus:
Well I can see her now drinking with the boys
Breaking their hearts like they were toys
She used to love to party, she used to love to go
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

Well I can see her now with her headphones on
Jumping up and down to her favourite song
She used to love to party, she used to wanna go
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

Take a look at the bridegroom smiling
pleased as pie
Shaking hands all round with a glassy
look in his eye
He got a real good job and the shirt
and tie is nice
But I remember a time when she would
never even look at him twice

Chorus:
Well I can see her now drinking with the boys
Breaking their hearts like they were toys
She used to love to party, she used to love to go
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
