Veil Of White Lace
By Mel Tillis
 
C                                         G7
The church door was opened  and I stepped inside
                                           C
I went there hoping  that she'd change her mind
                                C7      F
There were beautiful roses  in a bridal bouquet
                      C           G7             C
Where she stood at the alter  in a veil of white lace
 
                                           G7
A stranger in silence  reached out for her hand
                                       C
And placed on her finger  a gold wedding band
                                   C7            F
There was happiness written  in the smile on his face
               C                   G7             C
But I couldn't see hers beneath the veil of white lace
 
                                         G7
I pitied that stranger  for all he could see
                                     C
Was their life together  until eternity
                                C7            F
My heart filled with anger  as I pictured the face
                   C                 G7             C
Of a false hearted quitter  beneath a veil of white lace
 
                                             G7
I reached in my pocket  when the wedding was done
                                            C
My hand touched a locket  then it fell on a gun
                            C7           F
It shattered the silence  as it left its trace
              C            G7             C
Stains of red crimson  on a veil of white lace
 
                                                G7
I ran from the church house  as I threw down the gun
                                                     C
But stopped on the door step  for there crossing the lawn
                        C7          F
My darling said she had  decided to wait
           C                  G7             C
Death to a stranger  beneath a veil of white lace
 
Tag:    
F                   C                 G7             C
Yes it's death to a stranger beneath a veil of white lace
