I cried all the way to the altar

 

        G                G7      C

1. I cried all the way to altar,

                        D                         D7                       G  - D

    a smile was on my face, but tears were in my heart.

                          G                  G7                   C

    Two hearts broken, and a third will soon falter,

                    D                       D7                         G

    now, too late, I know that we were wrong to part.

 

              D

Oh, my darling, now too late,

                     G

we can't go back and start anew.

               D

Now too late I have thrown away

                        G                      D

my chance of happiness with you.

    G                G7            C

I cried all the way to the altar,

                D                      D7                          G    ( - D)

now, too late, I know that we were wrong to part.

 

                  G                  G7                      C

2. Take a calender and turn back all the pages,

                   D                             D7                     G    - D

    take my life, turn back each day since I was born.

        G                G7            C

    I cried all the way to the altar,

                    D                    D7                     G

    now, too late, I see the damage I have done.

 

+ CHORUS + C - G
