G C/G G
Well she swept through the church
Em D G
Like a sweet Sunday prayer
C G
While the choir sang Son of Heaven
Em D
And the groom just walked on air
I was killing time with Jesus
When the wedding bells began
And I saw the most beautiful woman
Am Em G D Em7 D
Getting married to a handsome man
Bb Eb Bb
And she walked like a mystery
Gm7 F Bb
And she passed like summer rain
Eb Bb
And she said I do like an angel
Gm7 F
But I never knew her name
Oh the congregation gathered
But in darkness I remained
Eb Cm Bb F
In love with the bride of a handsome man
Bb
But I never knew her name
In the shadow of the holy
Oh I heard my tell-tale heart
Whisper words that never reached her
As her vows were made at last
Oh the preacher with his blessing
Pronounced them man and wife
And I saw the most beautiful woman
Make a promise to be kept for life
Solo: Eb Db Eb Db Eb Ab Eb Db Ab Eb Db Ab Eb
G7 Cm C/E F Gb F Gm F
