[Verse 1]
           A
Hot day in July, nineteen eighty-nine
          D                     A
Ninety degrees standing in the shade
                           D                      A
You were dressed up all in white walking down the aisle
           E
Holding on tight to your daddy's arm
                   A
I looked into your eyes and I saw love shine
                   D                       A
I swore to be your man, you swore to be my girl
       D                         A          E        A
With a blessing and a promise we headed out into the world

[Chorus]
        D                 A
Hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder
            E                     A
Together we stand darling in this life
        D               A
Nobody leads and nobody follows
           E                  A
You and me walkin' it side by side

[Verse 2]
                   A
Ten years come and gone, this road we've been on
             D                       A
Has taken us through many twists and turns
                  D                      A
The changes we've faced have tested our faith
             E
But we stood strong darling come what may
                       A
Now there've been some times one's fallen behind
             D                       A
I waited for you, girl you waited for me
        D                         A
We each other we found all the stength
          E           A
In this world that we need

        D                 A
Hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder
            E                     A
Together we stand darling in this life
        D               A
Nobody leads and nobody follows
           E                  A
You and me walkin' it side by side

           A
Lying here tonight holding you close
            D                 A
I know this much darling to be true
       D                 A
To the end we'll make it through
E       A
Side by side

[Chorus]
        D                 A
Hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder
            E                     A
Together we stand darling in this life
        D               A
Nobody leads and nobody follows
           E                  A
You and me walkin' it side by side

        D                 A
Hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder
            E                     A
Together we stand darling in this life
        D               A
Nobody leads and nobody follows
           E                  A
You and me walkin' it side by side
