[Eb] through songs, song after song, Tammy and I.
And we found a couple or three things that we sort of liked.
But nothing, you know, really knocked us out.
And we just kept looking and looking.
And we even tried to sit down and write.
And we just..
The last, I'll tell you what it was.
It was about two or three hours before the session was the next
day, the next afternoon, which was supposed to begin around
two o'clock.
And it was about eleven o'clock, I guess,
when I went over to Tree.
I said, I'm going to take one last stab at it.
And I went up to Buddy Killen's office and I said,
Buddy, I said you're hiding something from me.
You all have sent me tapes.
I've listened to Tree's songs and I've listened to,
of course, everybody else in Nashville.
And I said I know you're hiding a song from me but you got one
back there for somebody somewhere and I want it.
Tammy and I are recording.
He left the room.
He left his office and he was back within about ten minutes.
I was drinking a cup of coffee.
And he was back within about ten minutes.
He put the tape on, golden rings.
And I said I knew you had one.
I knew it.
In a pawn shop in Chicago on a sunny summer day,
[Bb] a couple gazes at the wedding [Eb] rings there on display.
She smiles and nods her head as he says,
honey, that's for you.
It's not much but it's [Bb] the best [Eb] that I can do.
Golden rings with one tiny stone [Bb] waiting there for [Eb] some
one to take it home.
Life says it's just a cold metallic thing.
Only love can [Bb] make a golden wedding [Eb] ring.
In a little wedding chapel later on in the [Bb] noon,
that old upright piano [Eb] plays that old familiar tune.
Tears roll down her cheeks as happy thoughts run through her
head as he whispers, Lord, with [Bb] this ring,
I've [Eb] only got one.
Golden rings with one tiny little stone [Bb] shining green.
[Eb] Now at last it's found a home by itself.
It's just a cold metallic thing.
Only love can make [Bb] a golden [Eb] wedding ring.
[E] In a small two-room apartment has that pot down.
He [B] says you won't admit it but I [E] know you'll even smile.
Timmy said one thing's for certain,
I don't love you anymore.
I throw down the ring [B] as she walked [E] out my door.
Golden rings with one tiny little stone.
Yes, [B] it's all [E] like a dove that's dead and gone by itself.
It's just a cold metallic thing.
Only love can [B] make a golden wedding [E] ring.
In a pawn shop in Chicago on a sunny summer day,
[B] a couple gazes in.
The wedding [A] [B] ring's [A] there [B] on [E] this poor golden ring.

Mary Lou was [G] a, of course, everybody knows the old pop
song, big, big, big song.
And I always felt bad about recording a song that's so
well-known by so many people all throughout the world.
Because you know, you have a tendency of saying,
well, now I can't do this thing, you know,
like Guy Lombardi or whoever did it, you know.
But anyhow, Billy Sherrill came up with the idea.
And he said, George, it's a simple melody.
You can do it country.
It was really written with a country-type chord changes.
And I said, yeah, I've heard it all my life.
And I said, he said it'd been a duet with Tammy.
I said it would be different.
And I said, OK, let's try it.
So we went in the studio and did it.
And how wrong I was again, it went to number one.
There's just one place for me.
[C] There's you.
It's [G] like heaven on today.
[C] There's you.
[G] Times when we're at war, [C] I can't face my heart.
[Db] [D] Say you'll never stop [G]
the way.
If my hours could be spent.
[C] There's you.
I'd [E] be more than spend.
[Am]
[C] There's [F] you.
Make my life worthwhile.
[C] Telling [A] me that I [F] spend [G] the rest of my days.
[C] There's you.
[G] [C]

I [N] heard the song on a friend of mine
brought it to my house one night.
