[Chorus]
G C G
I ain’t gonna buy you no diamond ring.
C G
I’m just a poor boy without nice things.
C G
But my love is always free.
D G
Ain’t gonna buy you no diamond ring.
[Verse 1]
C G
Driving home last night at eleven.
C G
I stopped to think about where I’d been.
C G
In the arm of a girl's confession,
D G
she told me all I didn’t want to hear.
[Verse 2]
G C G
Said she love me without condition,
C G
said she’d always be tried and true.
G C G
The only catch to this partition,
D G
I’d have to buy her a thing or two.
[Chorus]
G C G
I ain’t gonna buy you no diamond ring.
C G
I’m just a poor boy without nice things.
C G
But my love is always free.
D G
Ain’t gonna buy you no diamond ring.
[Guitar Break]
G C G C G C G D G
[Verse 3]
G C G
Well I may not drive a Beemer.
C G
or be a member of a country club,
G C G
but what I have I will offer
C G
and I hope that’s good enough.
[Chorus]
G C G
I ain’t gonna buy you no diamond ring.
C G
I’m just a poor boy without nice things.
C G
But my love is always free.
D G
Ain’t gonna buy you no diamond ring.
[Guitar Break]
G C G C G C G D G
[Verse 4]
G C G
It wasn’t hard to let her go.
C G
I learned some lessons I’ll never know.
G C G
More than fame, fortune or salary
D G
I’l trade all that for integrity
[Chorus]
G C G
I ain’t gonna buy you no diamond ring.
C G
I’m just a poor boy without nice things.
C G
But my love is always free.
D G
Ain’t gonna buy you no diamond ring.
