Mel Tillis - Veil of white lace

^CThe church door was opened and I stepped ^G7inside I went there hoping that she'd change her ^Cmind There were beautiful roses in a^C7 bridal ^Fbouquet Where she stood at the^C alter in a^G7 veil of white ^Clace

A stranger in silence reached out for her ^G7hand And placed on her finger a gold weddin^Cg band There was happiness written in the^C7 smile on his ^Fface But I couldn't ^Csee hers beneath the^G7 veil of white ^Clace

I pitied that stranger for all he could ^G7see Was their life together until eterni^Cty My heart filled with anger as I^C7 pictured the ^Fface Of a false hearted ^Cquitter beneath a^G7 veil of white ^Clace

I reached in my pocket when the wedding was ^G7done My hand touched a locket then it fell on a ^Cgun It shattered the silence as^C7 it left its ^Ftrace Stains of red ^Ccrimson on a^G7 veil of white ^Clace

I ran from the church house as I threw down the^G7 gun But stopped on the door step for there crossing the ^Clawn My darling said she had ^C7 decided to ^Fwait Death to a ^Cstranger beneath a^G7 veil of white ^Clace

^FYes it's death to a ^Cstranger beneath a^G7 veil of white ^Clace
