Verse 1:
(C) (F) (C)
I once met a young girl filled with fire,
(C) (G) (C)
That saw through my front to this shell of a man
(C) (F) (C)
She knew I'd be a handful from the start,
(C) (G) (C)
This strong willed woman had an angels heart
(Electric Guitar kicks in now)
C F C
The holes in these wings don't allow me to fly
C G C
So you'd better brace for a life of pain,
C F C
And if fate is the path to this better life
C G C
Somehow I feel you'll never see the faces change
Chorus:
F* G*
Through thick and thin, She stood by you
Fill
She held the key to my broken heart

Verse 2:
C* F* C*
I look back and wonder, sit and ponder,
C* G* C*
How I could have ever neglected you?
C* F* C*
For the blood soaked soil on the old ball field,
C* G* C*
I gambled on a hand I wasn't ready to lose
C F C
But if the tables were turned, and I faced the troubles,
C G C
Tough times and struggles I put you through
C F C
I'd of been there as you were through hardship and horror
C G C
My life and my love are pledged to you
Chorus x1
Fill x1
Bridge:
F C G C
Remember the nights she waited and wondered,
F C G
Fused to a myth that it had taken it's toll.
F C G C
But this Godless man has mended his way,
F G
Never again will she be alone...
Verse Lead x2
Verse 3:
(C) (F) (C)
I remember it well, still I always knew
(C) (G) (C)
That she was destined to be my bride
(C) (F) (C)
This woman had pride, she was full of life,
(C) (G) (C)
I could see the passion in her eyes.
C F C
She thought she found a man, But she fell for the devil
C G C
An evil monster in disguise.
C F C
Now I'll honor and obey, forever stay.
C G C
True to you, my Irish rose
