| D | |
| In a | pawn shop in Chicago on a sunny summer day |
| A | D | |
| A | couple gazes at the wedding | rings, they?re on display |
| D | |
| She | smiles and nods her head as he says ?Honey that's for you |
| D | A | D | |
| It's not | much but it's the | best that I can | do? |
| D | |
| Golden ring (G | olden ring) |
| D | |
| With one | tiny little stone |
| A | |
| Waiting | there (waiting there) |
| D | |
| For some | one to take it home |
| D | |
| By it | self (by itself) it's just a cold metallic thing |
| D | A | D | |
| 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 |
| Chorus: |
| Golden Ring |
| With one tiny little stone |
| Shining ring |
| Now at last it's found a home |
| By itself |
| It's just a cold metallic thing |
| Only love can make a golden wedding ring |
| Slide Capo to 2 ? same chords: D, A |
| 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 said one thing's for certain, I don't love you anymore |
| And throws down the ring as she walks out the door |
| Chorus |
| Golden Ring |
| With one tiny little stone |
| Cast aside |
| Like the love that's dead and gone |
| By itself |
| It's just a cold metallic 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 |
