    B5             A5                G5                    D5

         B5                A5                  G5            D5    
 I knew this could be the one who would make me an honest man

G5         A5                B5 
 She was like the way she was
G5         A5                D5

  B5                   A5              G5            D5
 Lights went down on graduation then on a wedding ring
 B5                   A5               G5           D5

 Jesus took away my May

     A5                     B5         G5
 And I didn't know how to say what I felt
     A5                     B5          G5

 She was just like she was
           B5                                G5
 When you looked into her eyes you'd come undone

 She was just like she was
                             B5

 One day she got old enough to have her wedding day
     B5                A5
 But as I walked her down the aisle
         G5               D5
