 G                 D                   C                 G 
 Didn't have much money back then  but I saved up everything 
 C                    G                       D 
 Hitched a ride into town one evening  and I bought you a ring 
 G                      D                C                           G 
 It didn't shine like diamonds but god it meant a lot to me 
 C                     G                         C            G 
 I was so proud when you said yes when I got down on my knee 
 G                               D                C                      G 
 You should know by now that news travels fast In this one story town 
 G              D                  C                       G 
 I overheard a conversation one day as I was settin down 
 G                           D                      C  G 
 In the coffee shop well the tales grow tall sometimes they're true 
 C                   G                  D            C           G 
 I heard a man describin' this woman  It sounded a lot like you 
 Em                           D                        C  G 
 He said her husband was gone all last week on a cattle run to Santa Fe 
 C                   G                      D 
 Now he had to lay low for awhile  He's comin home today 
 Em                  D                  C                        G 
 And he went on to laugh about this cheap ol ring she wore 
 C            G                           D          C            G 
 I heard my world crumblin in my ears  Then I walked out the door 
       C                       D                       G    Em 
 Did he sweep you off your feet last night  Did you plan out who he would  be 
       C                           D                       G    Em 
 Now you're just a laugh in his coffee shop story  How could you do this to me 
       C                       D                       G   Em 
 When I promised forever and you said I Do  I guess that didn't mean a thing 
       G                             D                              C 
 So last night when you loved him God I hope you took off your ring 
 G            D                   C                          G 
 We wander through this life  searchin for something strong 
 C                       G                  D 
 We build our house on trust and love and pray that nothing goes wrong 
 G                    D             C                 G 
 I'm takin off my ring tonight to show you how I feel 
 C                     G                            D           C  G 
 The next time you go makin those promises   Make a few that are real 
  
 Chorus 
  

             G                        D                     C  G
