Now it's a Gflyin' silver Deagle that A7used to be a Dring

D G D D A D

Standin' at that pawn shop counter, trying on the wedding rings

D G D D A7

She said she needed silver, 'cause gold just turns her green

D G D D D7 G

I counted out the twenties, and I laid the money down

G D A7 D

And we went straight to the Davidson courthouse

D G D D A D

After three long years together, she found a banker man

D G D D A7

Said she was thinkin' about her future, and gave me back that silver band

D G D D D7 G

I had it melted down, so I could wear it on a chain

G D A7 D

Now it's a flyin' silver eagle that used to be a ring

[Chorus]

G D

I'd rather have this silver eagle than all that rich man's gold

Bm F#m G A7

It's my one reminder of a woman turnin' cold

D G D D D7 G

Her love lies in his money, and mine's in a pair of wings

G D A7 D

On a flyin' silver eagle that used to be a ring

[Interlude]

D G D D A D

I couldn't put the past behind me, so I put it in a song

D G D D A7

That's how I tell the story, how that woman done me wrong

D G D D D7 G

Now I tour across the country, ridin' high on the wings

Of a flyin' silver eagle that used to be a ring

I'd rather have this silver eagle than all that rich man's gold

It's my one reminder of a woman turnin' cold

On a flyin' silver eagle that used to be a ring

I met a homeless man on Broadway, he was holdin' out his hand

He asked me for a dollar, said he was once a banker man

'Til that lady took his money, I said man I feel your pain

Ya might could use this silver eagle, you know it used to be a ring
