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.
