G           C-D              G 
I  heard church bells ring 
  C           D       G 
I heard a choir singing 
C           D           G                C 
I saw my love walk down the aisle 
           A7                            D 
on her finger  he placed a ring 

Whoahhhh whoah.. 

G                C-D            G    
I saw them       holding hands 
                 C                  D              G 
She was standing there    with my man 
C                      D                  G              C 
I heard them promise, "'Til death do us part" 
         G                  D             G            G-G-G-G-G-G 
Each word was a pain in my heart
