[Verse 1]
In a Dpawn shop in Chicago on a sunny summer day
A cA7ouple gazes at the wedding rDings 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  bA7est that I can dDo.
[Chorus]
Golden RDing (golden ring) with one tiny little stone
Waiting thA7ere (Waiting there) for soDmeone to take it home
By itself (By itself) it's just a cold metallic thing
Only love can make a gA7olden wedding rDing.
[Verse 2]
In a lDittle wedding chapel later on that afternoon
An oA7ld up right piano plays that oDld familiar tune
Tears roll down her cheeks and happy thoughts run through her head
As he whispers low with tA7his ring I thee wDed.
[Chorus]
Golden RDing (golden ring) with one tiny little stone
Shining rA7ing (Shining ring) now at Dlast it's found a home
By itself (By itself) it's just a cold metallic thing
Only love can make a gA7olden wedding rDing.
(Move capo to the 2nd fret - chords still relative to capo)
[Verse 3]
In a Dsmall two room apartment as they fight their final round
He sA7ays You won't admit it but I kDnow you're leavin' town.
She says One thing's for certain I don't love you anymore.
And throws down the ring as A7she walks out the doDor.
[Chorus]
Golden RDing (Golden Ring ) with one tiny little stone
Cast aA7side (Cast asidDe) like the love that's dead and gone.
By itself (by itself )it's just a cold metallic thing
Only love can make a gA7olden wedding rDing.
