Never The Bride by Linda Thompson
Never The Bride
Capo: 4th fret
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
At sixteen I fell for Billy
F C
He was a tall and bonny youth
G
A friend to every pretty girl
F D
But a stranger to the truth
[Verse 2]
G
He swore he loved me dearly
F C
I swore I’d not upset him
G
But he said he couldn’t marry me
F D
His wife would never let him
[Chorus]
G
Oh, oh, oh, never the bride
F
Never the bride
Em C D
Show me a man with only one side
G F
I’m bound to live a single life
Em D
Never, oh, never the bride
[Verse 3]
G
I took up with Jack at seventeen
F C
No finer boy I knew
G
He said I was the air he breathed
F D
And I believed his words were true
[Verse 4]
G
He worked the docks at Liverpool
F C
Loading steamers bound for Spain
G
But his heart was young and restless
F D
And he soon sailed away
[Chorus]
G
Oh, oh, oh, never the bride
F
Never the bride
Em C D
Show me a man with only one side
G F
I’m bound to live a single life
Em D
Never, oh, never the bride
[Instrumental]
Em Am C D Em G C D
[Verse 5]
G
I turned eighteen that summer
F C
And I wore John Dawson’s ring
G
He sailed for Valparaiso
F D
And I waited ‘til the spring
[Verse 6]
G
I turned away all others
F C
And I slept alone each night
G
When I cried, ‘twas not for Johnny
F D
‘Twas for my sorry life
[Chorus]
G
Oh, oh, oh, never the bride
F
Never the bride
Em C D
Show me a man with only one side
G F
I’m bound to live a single life
Em D
Never, oh, never the bride
Em D
Never, oh, never the bride
