[Verse 1]
A
There at the altar I held up my head
F
The sun shone through the stained glass
A
I thought of Jesus I thought of my friends
F
The angels played on their harps
D G
Me in my suit which doesn't fit now
G
Touched by the greatest feeling
D A
All of my family standing around
G
Outside the bells were peeling
[Chorus]
E C#m
Everyone happy but none more than me
D
The ring upon her finger
C G
How the memory lingers
[Verse 2]
A
Outside the cameras caught every kiss
F
All covered in confetti
A
Little old ladies looking on as if
F
They had been made of jelly
D
Along came the cars the ceremony through
G
And off to the reception
D
Where everyone stands in pink and blue
C D G
A life long odd collection
[Chorus]
E C#m
Everyone happy but none more than me
D
The day that I got married
C
I will never (?)
[Bridge]
G F#m
When wedding bells chime
D
I think of the day
D
When me and my
F#m
When me and my bride
D
Were given away
G Em
The memory is vivid and strong
F# D
But if I had a magic wand
G
Would things have been the same
Em Bm E
Would I be nervous again?
[Out-Chorus]
E C#m
Everyone happy but none more than me
D
The ring upon her finger
C G
How the memory lingers
E C#m
Everyone happy but none more than me
D
The day that I got married
C A# E
I will never (?)
