Mother Of The Bride chords by Billy Bragg

Verse 1:
D                   G                 D
The Reverend Mother went and got me a drink
                          G                    D
She came back and said to me "Well what do you think "
             Em            G
I said "I've made myself a fool
        Em                Bm      A
For the prettiest girl in school"

Chorus:
    G                    A           D
How can I deal with this hurt I feel inside?
     D              G             D
I'll tell it to the mother of the bride

Verse 2:
                     G                 D
I put on my suit and smile for the big day
                            G            D
But I couldn't watch as her dad gave her away
            Em                    G
And as they solemnly said "You'll do"
    Em                Bm               A
Her mother said "That should have been you"

Chorus:
    G                    A           D
How can I deal with this hurt I feel inside?
     D              G             D
I'll tell it to the mother of the bride

Bridge:
       Em           G
At the mercy of the moon
    Em                Bm     A
The boy who spoke too soon

Verse 3:
    D               G                D
She married him and destroyed all my hopes
                       G
Of a two-up, two-down, two point five
      D
And a dish on the roof for the soaps
  Em                       G
I saw them at the hardware store
   Em            Bm         A
He looked boring she looked bored

Chorus:
    G                    A           D
How can I deal with this hurt I feel inside?
     D              G             D
I'll tell it to the mother of the bride
     G                 A                 D
It's nice to know that someone was on my side
     Em            G             D
Best wishes to the mother of the bride
