[Intro 1]
[G][Em][C][D]

[Verse 1]
I [G]heard [Am]chur[D]ch bells[G] ringing
[Dm]I he[G]ard [C]a [D]choir singing[G]
[Dm]I sa[G]w my[C] love[D]
walk [G]down the [Em]aisle
On her [A]finger he [D]placed a [Am]ring[D]

[Verse 2]
Oh, [G]I saw t[Am]hem h[D]olding h[G]ands
[Dm]She [G]was standing[C] there
[D]with my man[G][Dm][G]
[C]I heard them p[D]romise
"Till [G]death do [C]us [Cm]part"
Each [G]word [Em]was a pain[Am]
[D]in my hea[G]rt[Am][G]

[Bridge 1]
[C]All I could [D]do, all I could do
was [G]cry (cry, [Em]cry, cry)
[C]All [D]I could do was c[G]ry (cry, cry, cry)
[C]I was l[D]osing the m[G]an that I l[C]oved[Cm]
And [G]all [Em]I could do[Am]
[D]was cry[G] (cry, cry[Am])
[D]Yeah

[Verse 3]
[G]and now
[Am]the wedd[D]ing's over[G][Dm][G]
[C]Rice, rice has been [D]thrown
over their [G]heads[Dm][G]
[C]For them lif[D]e has jus[G]t be-[C] gun[Cm]
But [G]mine [Em]is at[Am][D]
an [G]end[Am][G]

[Bridge 2]
[C]All, all I could [D]do, all I could do
was [G]cry (cry, [Em]cry, cry)
[C]All I [D]could do [G]was cry (cry, [Em]cry, cry)
[C]I w[D]as losi[G]ng the man that I lo[Em]ved
[C]And all I could [D]do was [G]cry (cry, [Em]cry, cry)
