Jamey Johnson – Flying Silver Eagle (Ukulele)

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

    C        F      C              C                   G7
She said she needed silver, 'cause gold just turns her green

  C       F       C               C        C7    F                
I counted out the twenties, and I laid the money down

    F                       C    G7   C
And we went straight to the Davidson courthouse

      C          F       C           C       G   C
After three long years together, she found a banker man

             C         F        C                   C                G7
Said she was thinkin' about her future, and gave me back that silver band

  C      F      C                C       C7    F
I had it melted down, so I could wear it on a chain

           F             C          G7           C
Now it's a flyin' silver eagle that used to be a ring

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

Am          Dm            F             G7
It's my one reminder of a woman turnin' cold

    C         F      C                 C    C7      F
Her love lies in his money, and mine's in a pair of wings

     F              C         G7           C
On a flyin' silver eagle that used to be a ring

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

       C     F        C               C             G7
That's how I tell the story, how that woman done me wrong

      C      F        C               C    C7     F
Now I tour across the country, ridin' high on the wings

     F             C          G7           C
Of a flyin' silver eagle that used to be a ring

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

   C        F     C                   C             G7
He asked me for a dollar, said he was once a banker man

          C    F        C             C     C7        F
'Til that lady took his money, I said man I feel your pain

               F               C                  G7                 C
Ya might could use this silver eagle, you know it used to be a ring
