G
I don?t know how to tell her
C                                     G
That I didn?t get that raise in pay today
        F                            C
Cause I know how much she wanted the dress
                        G
In Bakers window and it breaks my heart
C                   G
To tell her have to wait
C          G                 C           G
And cancel all her plans she made to celebrate 
           F
But I just know that she can take it
       C               G
With a smile and not a frown
 
Cause knows that life has its little ups and downs
 
Like ponies on a merry-go-round
G7     F                              C
And no one grabs the brass ring every time
              G                 D 
But she don?t mind  she wears a gold ring 
       C               G
On her finger and it?s mine
        
Those new house plans we?ve had so long
C                                G
I guess will gather dust another year
        F
And the daffodils are blooming
         C
That she planted way last fall
         G        C           G
Upon the hill and over by the gate
C           G            C                 G
God knows I hate to say again well have to wait
           F
But I just know that she can take it
       C               G
With a smile and not a frown
 
Cause knows that life has its little ups and downs
 
Like ponies on a merry-go-round
G7     F                              C
And no one grabs the brass ring every time
              G                 D 
But she don?t mind  she wears a gold ring 
       C               G
On her finger and it?s mine 
             D               C                G
She wears a gold ring On her finger and it?s mine
