TAKE MY RING OFF OF YOUR FINGER Recorded by Carl Smith Words and music by Benny Joy and Hugh X. Lewis
CHORUS CAPO: 1st FRET KEY: Eb PLAY: D [D] Take my ring off of your [G] finger [A7] When you're out runnin' 'round on [D] me Darlin' tell them you're not [G] married But [A7] don't ask me to set you [D] free.
It hurts to share you with those others But it's better than no love at all When you're not cheat'n', you're not happy So go on out and have yourself a ball.
CHORUS
I know I should walk right out and leave you Any other fool would have been gone Ev'ry night - you're unfaithful But I'll be wait'n' here when you come home.
