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

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
