There was never any doubt...... So, we went ahead.
................................D..........Bm.........E......................A....
We took a loan to buy our home, a cooker and a bed.
.......G.......................D........A................................D....D7
Our whole lives to sha - re. Everything was so right.
.......G................................D..............Bm
We knew that we would always be rich;
G................A...............D....
Even if the money was tight.
CHORUS:

It was gonna be Top Hat 'n' Tails, flowers and veils.

She coulda been a sight to see.
...............G.....................D...............Bm.
With her radiant smile glidin' the aisle.
................G..................A.............D..
She was gonna wear white for me.
She tried very hard, her deep secret to keep.
Till guilt and pain, they swam round her brain,
And she started losing sleep.
She told me of the man, her 'one night stand'.
For an hour of fun the damage was done.
An end to all we had planned.
From a rusting old Ford to the register office door.
The man at her side was the one night stand
She swore she'd see no more.
What feelings do they share, but toleration and blame.
They put pen in hand and with a golden band,
The child was given his name.
