C                       F                 C
There was a wedding and church bells were ringing

      F                    C      G7
I was there and heard them say  I do

C              F          C
I was proud to see him so happy

    F           C        G7             C
But she’s just 21 and my dad he’s fifty two


F                   C
Dad’s been so alone since mom has been gone

                              G7
And it hurts me to see him so blue

C               F         C
A man needs the love of a woman

    F           C        G7             C
But she’s just 21 and my dad he’s fifty two


                      F                    C
After the wedding and church bells stopped ringing

             F           C                  G7
I stayed and prayed that God would see them through

C       F               C
I’m so afraid she might hurt him

    F           C        G7             C
For she’s just 21 and my dad he’s fifty two


F                   C
Dad’s been so alone since mom has been gone

                              G7

C               F         C
A man needs the love of a woman

    F           C        G7             C
