Chords with lyrics
D MajorD G+G D MajorD D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
Standin' at that pawn shop counter, trying on the wedding rings
D MajorD G+G D MajorD D MajorD A7A7
She said she needed silver, 'cause gold just turns her green
D MajorD G+G D MajorD D MajorD D7D7 G+G
I counted out the twenties, and I laid the money down
G+G D MajorD A7A7 D MajorD
And we went straight to the Davidson courthouse
D MajorD G+G D MajorD D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
After three long years together, she found a banker man
D MajorD G+G D MajorD D MajorD A7A7
Said she was thinkin' about her future, and gave me back that silver band
D MajorD G+G D MajorD D MajorD D7D7 G+G
I had it melted down, so I could wear it on a chain
G+G D MajorD A7A7 D MajorD
Now it's a flyin' silver eagle that used to be a ring
CHORUS:
G+G D MajorD
I'd rather have this silver eagle than all that rich man's gold
B minorBm E minorEm G+G A7A7
It's my one reminder of a woman turnin' cold
D MajorD G+G D MajorD D MajorD D7D7 G+G
Her love lies in his money, and mine's in a pair of wings
G+G D MajorD A7A7 D MajorD
On a flyin' silver eagle that used to be a ring
INTRO
D MajorD G+G D MajorD D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
I couldn't put the past behind me, so I put it in a song
D MajorD G+G D MajorD D MajorD A7A7
That's how I tell the story, how that woman done me wrong
D MajorD G+G D MajorD D MajorD D7D7 G+G
Now I tour across the country, ridin' high on the wings
G+G D MajorD A7A7 D MajorD
Of a flyin' silver eagle that used to be a ring
CHORUS
SOLO
D MajorD G+G D MajorD D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD
I met a homeless man on Broadway, he was holdin' out his hand
D MajorD G+G D MajorD D MajorD A7A7
He asked me for a dollar, said he was once a banker man
D MajorD G+G D MajorD D MajorD D7D7 G+G
'Til that lady took his money, I said man I feel your pain
G+G D MajorD A7A7 D MajorD
Ya might could use this silver eagle, you know it used to be a ring
