Chords for Veil Of White Lace / Mel Tillis 1970

[G] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
The church door was open _ and I stepped [G] inside
I went there hoping _
That [C] she'd change her mind _
There were beautiful _ roses
In a [F] bridal bouquet _
Where she [C] stood at the altar in a veil of white lace _
a stranger in silence
Reached out for [G] her hand and placed on her finger a
gold [C] wedding band
There was happiness
In the smile [F] on his face
But I [Am] couldn't [G] see her
[C] Meet the veil of white lace _
I pitied that stranger
For all he [G] could see
Was their life together Till [C] eternity _ _
My heart filled with anger
When I pictured [F] the face
_ Of a false [C]-hearted quitter
Meet the veil of white lace
[G#] I reached [C#] in my pocket _ when the [G#] wedding was done _
My hand touched a lock
He _ then [C#] fell on a gun
_ It shattered the _ silence
As it [F#] left its trace
_ _ [C#] Stains of red _ crimson
[G#] On a [C#] veil of white lace
_ I ran from the church house
As I threw [G#] down the gun
But stopped at the doorstep
For they're [C#] crossing the law _
My darling said she has
_ [F#] Decided she'd wait
_ Dealt [C#] to a stranger
Meet [G#] the veil [C#] of white lace
_ Dealt to a stranger
[G#] Meet the veil of [C#] white lace _
