A few of my friends inspired this blog!

Suzy who is a wedding photographer, was browsing through a wedding magazine in Borders the other day and found her pal Uni in a spread!

She took these photos with her iphone

Around the same time my friend Jolene asked for the chords to a song I wrote called "The Wedding Song". She wanted to learn it to play for her best friends wedding in Canada.
So I typed out the words, to shared it with her and now with U!
written by Uni and her Ukelele

note: I don't know the names of 3 bar chords, so i will give them number names

Number 1 is bar 5th fret
Number 2 is bar 6th fret
Number 3 is bar 7th fret

and 'Open" means strum open chord

Show starts in C

Verse:
C
Meet me on the F line a quarter to three

Bring a lunch for U, and a tea for me
            1
On the East Side of the street
1    2    3   C  open C
I'll wait for U my love
C
Panic in the air, what a smashing sight

On the city streets, sirens harmonize
1
Concrete Lullabies

While I wait for U my love

pre-chorus

Even though your mum may not fancy me

I'm not good enough, to wear your ring

Ain't no big thing jellybean

I'd still wait for U my love

Montana (or where ever U like) is a place where U can warm your feet

                      F                                                                C
And when the band starts playing, all the shy folks seem to hide

yet the kids are dancing and Grandpa is doing the Electric Slide (U know he did)

Chorus:
A             F       D    G7
We'll get older, fight alittle
A                       F
I'll forgive your faults
D                     G7
Will U forgive mine?
stop
Oh Oh Oh Oh

Verse:
C
When we get to old to put our own clothes on

We'll just lounge around, til the sun goes down

I'll wait for U my love
             1
and the last days are ours
1   2    3   C  open  C
I'll wait for U my love
