Chords

[Intro] G Em C D [Verse 1]
 G     Am D      G     Dm  G7
I heard   church bells ring

 C      D         G      Dm  G7
I heard   a choir singing

C        D         G        Em
I saw my love walk down the aisle

       A7                 D7        N.C.
on her finger   he placed a ring, wooah
[Verse 2]
 G        Am D       G     Dm G7
I saw them   holding hands

          C            D        G     Dm  G7
She was standing there   with my man

C             D               G        C   Cm
I heard them promise, "'Til death do us part"

     G   Em     Am  D7     G     Am G7/B
Each word was a pain in my heart,   ooh oh
[Chorus]
C             D                      G   Em
All I could do, all I could do was cry

C        D         G     Dm G7
All I could do was cry

C     D          G          C   Cm
I was losing the man that I love

    G             Am D7       G  Am D7           
and all   I could do   was cry
[Verse 3]
     G                Am D G   Dm G7
And  now   the wedding is over

C                   D                   G   Dm  G7
Rice, rice has been thrown over their heads

C          D        G      C   Cm
  For them life has just begun

    G        Am     D7   G   Am  G7/B
but mine  is en---ending,    ooh oh
[Chorus]
         C        D                      G   Em
All, all I could do, all I could do was cry

C       D         G    Dm G7
All I could do was cry

C      D       G               Em
  I was losing   the man that I love

    C           D      G    Em 
and all I could do was cry      and

    C           D      G     
and all I could do was cry
