[Bb] I heard church bells ringing, [Ab] I [Eb] [F]
[Bb] hear singing, [Eb]
[F] [Bb] walk [Am] down
[G] the aisle, [Gm] [C] I don't hurt a finger,
[E] He plays [F] the reed, and oh, [Bb] I [F] [Bbm] [Bb] want to have your attention [Eb] for just a moment, [Bbm] [Eb] because
I want to talk [F] to me, and [Bb] people, it wasn't too long ago, [Eb] it was back in my home, [F] [Bb] that
the [Am] only man [Gm] that I loved, [Bb]
got married [F] to another girl, [Bb]
and on the day of the wedding,
[F] when I [Bb]
finally decided [Eb] to go to [F] the sapphire, [Bb]
I could see [Eb] the [Bb] back of the church so that
[Eb]
all of my friends [F] wouldn't see the hurt that I was [Bb] feeling in my heart, and as I sat there,
[Eb]
somebody was playing a [F] tune on the organ, [Bb] and I saw, [Am] and saw [Gm] the suite, [Bb] here comes the
bride, [G] [F] and [Eb] I looked up, and [Bb] another [F] girl, [Bb] [F] and as they reached the altar,
[Eb] [Bbm] I heard the
preacher [Bb] say, said [Eb] young lady, [F] will you take this man's [Eb] ring and be wedded to [Gb] her husband,
[Bb] to love and to [Eb]
cherish him until the day that you die, [F] she smiled and [Bb] she said, [F] I [Gm] do, [Bb] but
then, [F] he turned, [Gm]
[Bb] and said, [F] and young man, [Bb] do you, [F] do you take this lovely young [Bb] lady
here, to be your loving and be wedded wife, [D]
[Eb] to love, [F] and to cherish her until the day
that [Bb] you die, and he also then [Eb] said, I [F] do, and I [Bb] want to tell you something, [Am] I want to
[Gm] tell you that it was so hard [Bb] for me to sit there, [Eb] [F] and to hear the man [C]
[Bb] say those very
[F] words, when people, [Bb] I had waited so long,
[Bbm] and I had [Eb] struggled so [Bb] hard, [Eb] I had worked
my fingers to [Bb] please the [F] man, [Bb] whether he was right or [Bb] wrong,
[Eb] he was getting married [F] to
another girl,
[Bb] when [Am] the wedding was coming [Gm] to an end, it [Bb] [F] was fun, just [C] laughing [Bb] and talking
with one another, [F] he had the nerve to [Bb] walk up to me, and you know what [F] he said, [Bb] I'm going
to tell you what he said, he said, [Bbm] Tina,
[Eb] Tina darlings, [F] even though we are [A] apart, [Bb] I'm going
to always reserve [Db] a [Eb] single spot in the [F] corner of my heart,
[Bb] [F] [Gm] in the corner of his heart,
[Bb] he
didn't [F] even stop to, in the corner of my [Bb] heart, [F] but it was a little too late for that, because
[Bb]
people, [F] the wedding was over with, [Bb]
and they were marching out of the [Bb] church, friends [Fm] was,
[Eb]
[F] [Bb]
[Eb]
[F] [Bb]

[F] [Bb] I
[Eb] [F] was losing, the [Am] only [Bb] man,

Oh Lord, all I could do was cry,
[Bb]
[N]
Thank you, thank you very much.
