[Intro]
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

[Verse 1]
E B
Well, the bride was a picture in the gown that her mama wore
B E
When she was married herself nearly twenty-seven years before
E B
They had to change the style a little but it looked just fine
B E
Stayed up all night, but they got it finished just in time

[Verse 2]
E B
Now on the arm of her daddy, she's walkin' down the aisle
B E
I see her catch my eye and give me a secret smile
E B
Maybe it's too old fashioned, but we once were close friends
B E
Oh but the way that she looks today, she never could have then

[Chorus]
A
Well, I can see her now in her tight blue jeans
E
Stuffin' all her money in the record machine
A
Spinnin' like a top, you should of seen her go
E B E
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
E B E
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

[Verse 3]
E B
Well, the proud daddy only want to give his little girl the best
B E
So he put down a grand on a cozy little lover's nest
E B
You could have called the reception an unqualified success
B E
At a flash hotel for a hundred and fifty guests

[Verse 4]
E B
Well, take a look at the bridegroom smilin' pleased as pie
B E
Shakin' hands all around with a glassy look in his eye
E B
He got a real good job and his shirt and tie is nice
B E
But I remember a time when she never would have looked at him twice

[Chorus]
A
Well, I can see her now drinkin' with the boys
E
Breakin' their hearts like they were toys
B E
She used to do the pony, she used to do the stroll
E B E
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
E B E
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
E B E
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
E B E
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

[Solo]
E B E
E B E

[Chorus]
A
Well, I can see her now with her walkman on
E
Struttin' up and down to her favorite song
A
I still remember when she used to want to make a lot of noise
E
Hoppin' and boppin' with the street corner boys

[Outro]
B E
She used to wanna party, she used to wanna go
E B E
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
E B E
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
E B E
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
E B E
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
E B E
I knew the bride when she used to do the pony
E B E
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
E B E
I knew the bride when she used to want to party
E B E
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
