Veil Of White Lace
Veil Of White Lace
By Mel Tillis
CG7
The church door was openedand I stepped inside
C
I went there hopingthat she'd change her mind
C7 F
There were beautiful rosesin a bridal bouquet
CG7C
Where she stood at the alterin a veil of white lace
G7
A stranger in silencereached out for her hand
C
And placed on her fingera gold wedding band
C7F
There was happiness writtenin the smile on his face
CG7C
But I couldn't see hers beneath the veil of white lace
G7
I pitied that strangerfor all he could see
C
Was their life togetheruntil eternity
C7F
My heart filled with angeras I pictured the face
CG7C
Of a false hearted quitterbeneath a veil of white lace
G7
I reached in my pocketwhen the wedding was done
C
My hand touched a locketthen it fell on a gun
C7F
It shattered the silenceas it left its trace
CG7C
Stains of red crimsonon a veil of white lace
G7
I ran from the church houseas I threw down the gun
C
But stopped on the door stepfor there crossing the lawn
C7F
My darling said she haddecided to wait
CG7C
Death to a strangerbeneath a veil of white lace

Yes it's death to a stranger beneath a veil of white lace
