C G7
The church door was opened and I stepped inside
C
I went there hoping that she'd change her mind
C7 F
There were beautiful roses in a bridal bouquet
C G7 C
Where she stood at the alter in a veil of white lace
G7
A stranger in silence reached out for her hand
C
And placed on her finger a gold wedding band
C7 F
There was happiness written in the smile on his face
C G7 C
But I couldn't see hers beneath the veil of white lace
G7
I pitied that stranger for all he could see
C
Was their life together until eternity
C7 F
My heart filled with anger as I pictured the face
C G7 C
Of a false hearted quitter beneath a veil of white lace
G7
I reached in my pocket when the wedding was done
C
My hand touched a locket then it fell on a gun
C7 F
It shattered the silence as it left its trace
C G7 C
Stains of red crimson on a veil of white lace
G7
I ran from the church house as I threw down the gun
C
But stopped on the door step for there crossing the lawn
C7 F
My darling said she had decided to wait
C G7 C
Death to a stranger beneath a veil of white lace
F C G7 C
Yes it's death to a stranger beneath a veil of white lace

The church door was opened and I stepped inside
