Tune down 1/2 step
 
 
[Intro]
C G D Em7 C G D
 
 
[Verse 1]
C             G
Same bar same stool same beer
D              Em7
Same old crowd crowding in here
     C               G             D
Just tryin' to kill another Friday night
C                      G
Ain't nothing special, nothing new
       D                   Em7
'Til I turned around and I ran into
    C                 G                D
The first look at the rest of my whole life
 
 
[Chorus]
               C
Here comes the bride
                    G                       D
Walking through the door as the band starts playing
Em7            C
Here comes the bride
                     G                D
And it was worth the time she kept me waiting
            C                      G
She had her hair pulled up and her best dress on
D                   Em7
Never was the kinda guy that thought
        C            G             D
I would ever find forever at first sight
                       C    G D
Awe but here comes the bride
 
 
[Verse 2]
C               G
Back road, back porch, back forty
D                 Em7
She laughs when I tell that story
C                     G                   D
She says I lie, but I swear man, it's the truth
C                 G
I put a ring on a credit card
     D                Em7
Just 2 weeks into her stealing my heart
C                   G                         D
Packed out a little church towards the end of June
 
 
[Chorus]
               C
Here comes the bride
                    G                       D
Walking through the door as the band starts playing
Em7            C
Here comes the bride
                     G                D
And it was worth the time she kept me waiting
            C                      G
She had her hair pulled up and her best dress on
D                   Em7
Never was the kinda guy that thought
        C            G             D
I would ever find forever at first sight
                       C G D
Awe but here comes the bride
Em7                C    G D
Man here comes the bride
 
 
[Bridge]
          Am7
It's been 15 years ago now
     Em                                   D
That girl from a south Georgia little town
G
Let me make her mine
           D
Still everytime she pulls up the drive "I'm like"
 
 
[Out-Chorus]
               C
Here comes the bride
             G               D
Windows down and her radio's playing
Em             C
Here comes the bride
                     G                D
And it was worth the time she kept me waiting
              C                     G
She's got her hair let down and her blue jeans on
D                   Em
Never was the kinda guy that thought
        C            G             D
I would ever find forever at first sight
                   C G  D
But here comes the bride
Em             C G D  C
Here comes the bride
