Verse 1

In a pawn shop in Chicago

On a sunny summer day

A couple gazes at the wedding

rings there on display

Verse 2

She smiles and nods her head

As he says, "Honey that's for you

It's not much,

but it's the best that I can do"

Verse 3

Golden ring with one tiny little stone

Waiting there for someone to take it home

By itself, it's just a cold metallic thing

Only love can make a golden wedding ring

Verse 4
C 
In  (C major) a little wedding chapel,
later on that afternoon
G 
 (G major) An old upright piano plays
C 
that  (C major) old familiar tune
Tears roll down her cheeks
And happy thoughts run
through her head
As he whispers low,
G 
C 
with  (G major) this ring, I thee  (C major) wed

Verse 5

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

Verse 6

In a small two- room apartment

As they fought their final round

He says, "You won't admit it

But I know you're leavin' town"

Verse 7

She says, "One thing's for certain

I don't love you anymore"

And throws down the ring

As she walks out the door

Cast aside,  (A major)
