Biography:
Dave Edmunds (born April 15, 1944) is a singer, guitarist and producer from Cardiff, Wales. Though he was primarily associated with pub rock and New Wave, and had numerous hits in the late 70's and early 80's, he was steadfastly devoted to pre-Beatles rock and roll. An infrequent songwriter, Edmunds has largely relied on cover songs or custom-written material to sustain his career.
In the late 1960s he led a blues-rock trio called Love Sculpture

[Verse 1]
E B7
Well, the bride looked a picture in the gown that her mama wore
B7 E
When she was married herself nearly twenty-seven years before
E B7
They had to change the style a little but to me it looked just fine
B7 E
They stayed up all night, but they got it finished just in time
[Verse 2]
E B7
Now on the arm of her daddy, she's a-walkin' down the aisle
B7 E
I see you catch my eye and give me a secret smile
E B7
Maybe it's too old-fashioned, but we once were close friends
B7 E
Oh but the way that she looks today, she never could have then.
[Chorus 1]
A
Well I can see her now in her tight blue jeans
E
Pumpin' all the money in the record machine
A
Spinnin' like a top, you shoulda seen her go
E B7 E
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
E B7 E
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
E B7 E
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
E B7 E
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
[Verse 3]
E B7
Now her proud daddy only wanna give his little girl the best
B7 E
And so he put down a grand on a cozy little lover's nest
E B7
You could've called the reception an unqualified success
B7 E
At a flash hotel for a hundred and fifty guests
[Verse 4]
E B7
Now take a look at the bridegroom smilin' pleased as pie
B7 E
Shakin' hands all around with a glassy look in his eye
E B7
He got a real good job and his shirt and tie is nice
B7 E
But I remember the time when she would never even look at him twice
[Chorus 2]
A
But I can see her now drinkin' with the boys
E
Breakin' their hearts like they were toys
A
She used to do the pony, she used to do the stroll
E B7 E
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

[Outro]
A
Well I can see her now with her headphones on
E
Jumpin' up and down to her favorite song
A
I still remember when she used to wanna make a lot of noise
E
Hoppin' and boppin' with the street corner boys
A
She used to love to party, she used to want to go
E B7 E
Wo, I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
