Standard (EADGBE)
In a pawn shop in Chicago
on a sunny sumer day
A couple gazes at the wedding
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
best that I can do.
Golden Ring
With one tiny little stone
Waiting there
for someone to take it home
By itself
it's just a cold metalic thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring.
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.
Golden Ring
With one tiny little stone
Waiting there
for someone to take it home
By itself
it's just a cold metalic thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring.
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.
Golden Ring
With one tiny little stone
Waiting there
for someone to take it home
By itself
it's just a cold metalic thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring.
In a pawn shop in Chicago
on a sunny sumer day
A couple gazes at the wedding
rings there on display
Golden Ring.
