By most accounts, George Jones (born George Glenn Jones September 12, 1931 in Saratoga, Texas, died April 26, 2013, in Nashville, Tennessee), was the finest vocalist in the recorded history of country music. Initially, he was a hardcore honky tonker in the tradition of Hank Williams, but over the course of his career he developed an affecting, nuanced ballad style. In the course of his career, he never left the top of the country charts, even as he suffered innumerable personal and professional difficulties.

Song: Golden Ring (G) Artist: George Jones .CRD by Howard Boyd [email protected] G Verse 1: In a pawn shop in Chicago on a sunny sumer day D7 A couple gazes at the wedding GCG rings there on display She smiles and nods her head as he says Honey that's for you. It's not much but it's the D7G best that I can do.
D7G Chorus: Golden Ring With one tiny little stone D7 Waiting there G for someone to take it home D7G By itself it's just a cold metalic thing D7GD7 Only love can make a golden wedding ring.
Verse 2: In a little wedding chapel later on that after noon An old up right piano plays that old familiar tune Tears roll down her cheeks and happy thoughts run through her head As he whispers low with this ring I thee wed.
Chorus: Golden Ring With one tiny little stone Shining ring now at last it's found a home By itself it's just a cold metalic thing Only love can make a golden wedding ring.
Verse 3: In a small two room apartment as they fight their final round He says You won't admit it but I know you're leavin' town. She says One thing's for certain I don't love you anymore. And throws down the ring as she walks out the door.
Chorus: Golden Ring With one tiny little stone Cast aside like the love that's dead and gone. By itself it's just a cold metalic thing Only love can make a golden wedding ring.
Ending : In a pawn shop in Chicago on a sunny sumer day A couple gazes at the wedding rings there on display Golden Ring.
