Sting - The Secret Marriage: chords

F                                       Dm7
No earth-ly church has ev-er blessed our union
    C#+      F/C   Dm       C#+    F/A
No state has ever grant-ed us permission
   Fm/G#           F/A  Fm/G#    Gm7
No family bond has ever made us two
   A7   Dm     A/C# F/C        G7/B
No company has ever earned commission

No debt was paid no dowry to be gained
No treaty over border land or power
No semblance of the world outside remained
To stain the beauty of this nuptial hour

Chorus:
           Bdim7                 A#    A#m  A#
The secret marriage vow is never spo-ken
    A7     Dm       A/C#  F/C    G7/B
The secret marriage never can be broken

C                Dm
No flowers on the altar
   F/E        A#/F     Am
No white veil in  your hair
   A/C#            Cm
No maiden dress to alter
   Dm    C#+     F/A
No bible oath to swear

Chorus
