By a special request,

I heard church

bells ringing
D

An d  I heard, and I,
G 
I heard a choir singing
C 
D 
G 
And I, I saw my Lord walk down,
D 
Em 
walk down the aisle
A 
I don't hurt fingers,
D 
G 
he plays the ring and all
Right now,
D 
G 
I  want to have your attention
C 
G 
Gm 
C 
for just a  moment
Gm 
D 
C 
Because I  want to tell you something
D 
that happened to me
G 
And people, it wasn't too long ago

It was back in my hometown

not too long ago

that the only man that  I've ever loved
G 
D 
got married to another girl.
G 
D 
And on the day of the wedding,
G 
D 
when I finally decided to go to this affair,
G 
C 
I  took a seat in the back of the church
G 
C 
D 
so that all of my friends wouldn't see
G 
the hurt that I was feeling in my heart
and as I sat there
C 
somebody was playing a tune
D 
G 
on the organ kind of soft,
D 
Em 
and sort of sweet.
G 
Here comes the bride.
D 
C 
G 
And I looked up, I saw my man
D 
walking down the aisle
G 
with another girl.
D 
And as they reached the altar,
G 
C 
G 
I heard the preacher say, said,
C 
D 
young lady, you take this man
C 
G 
to be your loving and be wedded husband,
D 
to love and to cherish him
C 
until the day that you die.
D 
G 
D 
Em 
She smiled and she said, I  do.
G 
D 
G 
D 
G 
But then he turned and he looked at my man and he said, and young man, do you,
D 
G 
C 
G 
do you take this lovely young lady here to be your loving and be wedded wife,
C 
D 
to love and to cherish her
G 
until the day that you die.
C 
D 
And he also smiled and said, I  do.
G 
And I want to tell you something.
D 
Em 
I want to tell you that it  was so
G 
hard for me to sit there
D 
G 
and to hear the man that I love say
D 
those very words.
When people,
G 
C 
D 
C 
I had waited so long
G 
and I had struggled so hard.
C 
I had worked my fingers
D 
down to the bone
to please the man,
G 
whether he was right or wrong.
C 
D 
He was getting married to another girl.
G 
And  when the wedding was
D 
coming to an end,
Em 
G 
D 
and all of their friends was having so much fun,
G 
just laughing and talking with one another,
D 
G 
he had the nerve to walk up to me and,
D 
you know what he said?
G 
Gm 
C 
I'm going to tell you what he said, he said, Tina, Tin a darling, he said,
D 
G 
C 
even though we are a part that I'm going to always reserve a certain little spot
D 
in the corner of my heart.
G 
D 
Em 
Now that was the corner of his heart.
G 
He didn't even stop to think
D 
G 
what was in the corner of my heart.
D 
But it was a little too late for that because,
G 
D 
people, the wedding was over with.
G 
They were marching out of the church,
C 
their friends was throwing rice
all over their heads.
D 
But as I sit there by myself,
G 
C 
and all, all I could do,
D 
G 
all I could do was cry.
C 
D 
Yeah! I said all, all I could do
G 
And all I could do was cry
Yes, I know
Because I
C 
I  was losing
D 
The only man
G 
D 
Em 
That I ever loved
G 
Oh, and all
D 
All I could do
Oh, Lord
