Intro: (F)-(G)-(C)-Walkdownd-(Am)-(G)
Verse One:
(F) (G) (C) (Am)
It's our Wedding Day,........And I can't wait to be with you,...........
(G) (F) (G) (C)
Down the aisle I'm wai-i-ting, As the music sets the mood,.......
(C7th) (F) (G) (C)
And as I see you coming,...I can't help but want to cry,....
(Am) (F) (G) (C)
These Magic words we've waited,. To say for all our lives,..

(CHORUS)

(F) (G) (C) (Am)
With this Ring I Wed,.....To love you now and ever,.........
(F) (G) (C)
Until the Earth stops turning,.....Until the life in me is severed,....
(C7th) (F) (G) (C) (Am)
I'll always keep you warm,.....Whenever you are cold,..........
(F) (G) (C)
For you always be a part of me,........To Have and To Hold,....

(Lead)

Verse Two:
(F) (G) (C) (Am)
And as the years go by,..........I cannot live without you,.........
(G) (F) (G) (C)
Like the Oceans without water, Like the Stars without the Moon,
(C7th) (F) (G) (C)
What God has put together,.... Let no one tear apart,......
(Am) (F) (G) (C)
Two seperate souls we once were,.....Are now as one in Heart,


(CHORUS)
(F) (G) (C) (Am)
With this Ring I Wed,.....To love you now and ever,.........
(F) (G) (C)
Until the Earth stops turning,.....Until the life in me is severed,....

I'll always keep you warm,.....Whenever you are cold,..........
(F) (G) (C)
For you always be a part of me,........To Have and To Hold,....

(BRIDGE)

(F) (G) (C)
And I think about the life we have together,......
(F) (G) (C) (C7th)
And how we wouldn't want it any other way, Hey-eh-eh-ey!
(F) (G) (C) (Am)
And of all the things we've said that means Forever,........
(F) (G)
Were the words we said, on our Wedding Da---ay,............

(CHORUS)
(F) (G) (C) (Am)
With this Ring I Wed,.....To love you now and ever,.........
(F) (G) (C)
Until the Earth stops turning,.....Until the life in me is severed,....
(C7th) (F) (G) (C) (Am)
I'll always keep you warm,.....Whenever you are cold,..........

For you always be a part of me,........To Have and To Hold,....
