E D A x2 [Verse 4]
E                   D A
I was at the stadium

           E                                   D            A
There were twenty thousand girls; called their names out to me

  E                    D            A
Marie and Ruth, but to tell you the truth

E                   D        A
I didn't hear them; I didn't see

  E                       D         A
I let my eyes rise to the big tower clock

      E                         D     A
And I heard those bells chimin' in my heart

      E                     D          A
Going ding dong, ding dong, ding dong, ding dong

E                     D          A
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong, ding dong

E                D A
Counting the time

         E              D A
Then you came to my room

        E                       D            A
And you whispered to me, and we took the big plunge

    E               D   A
And oh, you were so goo-ood 

E               D   A
Oh, you were so fine

    E                D     A      E
And I gotta tell the world that I make her mine, make her mine

D              A              E    
Make her mine, make her mine, make her mine, make her mine

        E     E     E     D  D  A
And the tower bells chime,

 A    E      E    E    E  D  D  A
"Ding dong," they chime

        A         E     E        D   D      A
They're singing, "Jesus died for somebody's sins ... but not mine,"
