No capo:
Am C D
[Three silver rings] ... on slim hands waiting
G D/F# C Em D
Flash bright in candlelight till Sunday's early morn
Am C D
We found her room that rainy morning
G D/F# C Em D
She took my hand through winding roads and led me home
Some red French wine when later wating
In her warm hideaway, she smiled and combed her hair
We talked of all, we talked of nothing
I left with promises to meet; she told me where.

She laughed each time I asked her name
D G
Made promises to meet again
C Em D G
But her friends down at the French caf
Am D

A girl with silver rings ...
