INTRO: D
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 Em 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
INTRO
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
SOLO
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
