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