[Verse 1]
D
In a pawn shop in Chicago on a sunny summer day
A7 D
A couple gazes at the wedding rings there on display
She smiles and nods her head as he says Honey that's for you.
A7 D
It's not much but it's the best that I can do.
[Chorus]
D
Golden Ring (golden ring) with one tiny little stone
A7 D
Waiting there (Waiting there) for someone to take it home
By itself (By itself) it's just a cold metallic thing
A7 D
Only love can make a golden wedding ring.
[Verse 2]
D
In a little wedding chapel later on that afternoon
A7 D
An old up right piano plays that old familiar tune
Tears roll down her cheeks and happy thoughts run through her head
A7 D
As he whispers low with this ring I thee wed.
[Chorus]
D
Golden Ring (golden ring) with one tiny little stone
A7 D
Shining ring (Shining ring) now at last it's found a home
By itself (By itself) it's just a cold metallic thing
A7 D
Only love can make a golden wedding ring.
(Move capo to the 2nd fret - chords still relative to capo)
[Verse 3]
D
In a small two room apartment as they fight their final round
A7 D
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.
A7 D
And throws down the ring as she walks out the door.
[Chorus]
D
Golden Ring (Golden Ring ) with one tiny little stone
A7 D
Cast aside (Cast aside) like the love that's dead and gone.
By itself (by itself )it's just a cold metallic thing
A7 D
Only love can make a golden wedding ring.
[Outro]
D
In a pawn shop in Chicago on a sunny summer day
A7 G D
A couple gazes at the wedding rings there on display
