The Statler Brothers – Years Ago (Guitar)

C                                  F
I didn't come to kiss the bride so don't seat me on either side

C                         G7
I just came by to see the show

C                                      F
I'm close enough I'll stand right here I can see and I can hear

C                 G7        C
Course I heard it all years ago

Am                      F
I hear the organ play a minor melody

                                G7
Is that the one they call their song

C                       Am
Church vows always make love sound so easy

F                             G7
But as long as you live is so long

C                                   F
I didn't come to kiss the bride nor come to call the groom outside

C                          G7
And no I can's stay to say hello

C                               F
That's not the reason I came by I came today to say goodbye

C                 G7             C
To something that happened years ago

Am                      F
I hear the organ play a minor melody

                                G7
Is that the one they call their song

C                       Am
What God joins together let no man put asunder

F                                 G7
But it sure put us under right or wrong

C                                    F
Give the bride and groom my best and tell her mom and all the rest

C                                 G7
That I was here but really had to go

C                                     F
Reception line's too long outside and I didn't come to kiss the bride

C              G7    C
I did all that years ago

                                    F
There's no reason I should stay the groom won't shake hands anyway

C                G7          C
And I kissed the bride years ago
