verse 1 
           A 
Hot day in July, nineteen eighty-nine 
          D                     A 
Ninety degrees standing in the shade 
                           D                      A 
You were dressed up all in white walking down the aisle 
           E 
Holding on tight to your daddy's arm 
                   A 
I looked into your eyes and I saw love shine 
                   D                       A 
I swore to be your man, you swore to be my girl 
       D                         A          E        A 
With a blessing and a promise we headed out into the world 
 
        D                 A 
Hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder 
            E                     A 
Together we stand darling in this life 
        D               A 
Nobody leads and nobody follows 
           E                  A 
You and me walkin' it side by side

verse 2 
                   A 
Ten years come and gone, this road we've been on 
             D                       A 
Has taken us through many twists and turns 
                  D                      A 
The changes we've faced have tested our faith 
             E 
But we stood strong darling come what may 
                       A 
Now there've been some times one's fallen behind 
             D                       A 
I waited for you, girl you waited for me 
        D                         A 
We each other we found all the stength 
          E           A 
In this world that we need 

        D                 A 
Hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder 
            E                     A 
Together we stand darling in this life 
        D               A 
Nobody leads and nobody follows 
           E                  A 
You and me walkin' it side by side 

Instrumental 
A  A  D  A  D  A E  A  A 

           A 
Lying here tonight holding you close 
            D                 A 
I know this much darling to be true 
       D                 A 
To the end we'll make it through 
E       A 
Side by side 
 
        D                 A 
Hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder 
            E                     A 
Together we stand darling in this life 
        D               A 
Nobody leads and nobody follows 
           E                  A 
You and me walkin' it side by side 

        D                 A 
Hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder 
            E                     A 
Together we stand darling in this life 
        D               A 
Nobody leads and nobody follows 
           E                  A 
You and me walkin' it side by side
