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
