Capo 1 
 
 
     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” 
 


[Refrão]
       D 
Golden ring (Golden ring) 
         D 
With one tiny little stone  
        A 
Waiting there (waiting there) 
        D 
For someone to take it home 
     D 
By itself (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
