As recorded by Status Quo (From the 1999 Album UNDER THE INFLUENCE - CD REISSUE BONUS TRACK) [Intro] D G D G D G D N.C. [Verse 1]
         D                                                 A
Well the bride looked a picture in the gown that her momma wore

                                                         D
When she was married herself nearly twenty-seven years before

                                                         A
They had to change the style a little but it looked just fine

                                                     D
Stayed up all night but they got it finished just in time
[Verse 2]
D                                                  A
Now on the arm of her daddy she's walking down the aisle

                                                 D
And she catches my eye and she gives me a secret smile

                                                    A
Maybe it's too old-fashioned but we were once close friends

                                                 D
But the way she looks today she never could have then
[Chorus]
           G
Well I can see her now in her tight blue jeans

D
Pumping all her money in the record machine

G
Spinning like a top, you shoulda seen her go

D                         A                D
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

                          A                D
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

D
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

                          A                G
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
[Verse 2]
      D                                               A
Now a proud daddy only wanna give his little girl the best

                                               D
So he put down a grand on a cosy little lovers nest

                                                      A
You could have called the reception an unqualified success

                                         D
And a posh hotel for a hundred and fifty guests
[Chorus]
           G
Well I can see her now drinking with the boys

D
Breaking their hearts like they were toys

    G
She used to love to party, she used to love to go

D                         A                D
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

                          A                D
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

D
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

                          A                D   C G D  C G D
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
[Guitar Solo] D [Chorus]
           G
Well I can see her now with her headphones on

D
Jumping up and down to her favourite song

    G
She used to love to party, she used to wanna go

D                         A                D
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

                          A                D
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
[Verse 3]
D                                                A
Take a look at the bridegroom smiling pleased as pie

                                                  D
Shaking hands all round with a glassy look in his eye

                                                 A
He got a real good job and the shirt and tie is nice

                                                            D
But I remember a time when she would never even look at him twice
[Chorus]
           G
Well I can see her now drinking with the boys

D
Breaking their hearts like they were toys

    G
She used to love to party, she used to love to go

D                         A                D
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

D                         A                D
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

D
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

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

I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
