             G                D
Then he'll walk her down the isle

              Asus2       F#m
And raise her vale

           Bm
But right now she up and cry'n

        Asus2
And the truth is that he dont mind

        G           D
As he kisses her good night

                  Asus2
And she says her prayers



    G                D
He lays down there beside her

         Asus2              D
'Til her eyes are finally closed

          G               D
And just watch'n her it breaks his heart

     Asus2         D
