G                                       D7 
The first scene was the church then the altar 

                                                 G 
Where we claimed each other with tears of joy we cried 

                                    C 
Our friends wished us luck there forever 

      D7                             G 
As we walked from the church side by side 

  
                             D7 
The next scene was a crowded courtroom 

                                  G 
And like strangers we sat side by side 

                                  C 
Then I heard the judge make his decision 

       D7                     G 
And no longer were we man and wife 

  
                         D7 
I hate the sight of that courtroom 

                                    G 
Where man made laws push God's laws aside 

                                      C 
Then the clerk wrote our story in the record 

         D7                   G 
A Church A Courtroom And Then Goodbye 

  
                              D7 
We walked from that courtroom together 

                                 G 
We shook hands and once again we cried 

                           C 
Then it was the end of our story 

         D7                   G 
A Church A Courtroom And Then Goodbye
