[Intro]
D
[Verse]
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
[Verse]
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 G D A7 D Of 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
[Outro]
D G D D A D I met a homeless man on Broadway, he was holdin' out his hand D G D D A7 He asked me for a dollar, said he was once a banker man D G D D D7 G 'Til that lady took his money, I said man I feel your pain G D A7 D Ya might could use this silver eagle, you know it used to be a ring
