                     G
Verse 1:        In a pawn shop in Chicago
                on a sunny sumer day
                  D7
                A couple gazes at the wedding
                G           C     G
                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
                D7              G
                best that I can do.


                    D7 G
Chorus:         Golden Ring
                With one tiny little stone
                        D7
                Waiting there
                        G
                for someone to take it home
                   D7 G
                By itself
                it's just a cold metalic thing
                                     D7             G      D7
                Only love can make a golden wedding ring.


Verse 2:        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 metalic thing
                Only love can make a golden wedding ring.

Verse 3:        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.

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 metalic thing
                Only love can make a golden wedding ring.


Ending :        In a pawn shop in Chicago
                on a sunny sumer day
                A couple gazes at the wedding
                rings there on display
                Golden Ring.
