She was (D)just seventeen (D/A) but (D)she was all woman 
when Ol' (G)Frank slipped the ring on her (D)hand

After (D)ten years of (D/A)Heaven and (D)long nights of (D/A)love
his ole (D)heart couldn't keep up the (G)pace
But (G)friends you can bet that he (D)had no regrets
Ol' (A)Frank ran one Hell of a (D)race

(Chorus)
She (G)cried all the way to the (D)chapel
like she really cared for Ol' (A) Frank
She (D)cried all the (D7)way to the (G)grave where he lay - - -
Then she (A)smiled all the way to the (D)bank

He had (D)bought her big (D/A)diamonds and (D)long limousines
as she (G)taught him what happiness (D)meant

And to (A)him she was worth every (D)cent

Then she (A)smiled all the way to the (D)bank
