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)
The holes in these wings don't allow me to fly
So you'd better brace for a life of pain,
And if fate is the path to this better life
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
But if the tables were turned, and I faced the troubles,
Tough times and struggles I put you through
I'd of been there as you were through hardship and horror
My life and my love are pledged to you
Chorus x1
Fill x1
Bridge:
Remember the nights she waited and wondered,
Fused to a myth that it had taken it's toll.
But this Godless man has mended his way,
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.
She thought she found a man, But she fell for the devil
An evil monster in disguise.
Now I'll honor and obey, forever stay.
True to you, my Irish rose
Chorus x1
Fill x2
