Hank Locklin - Fourteen Carat Gold Chords

Fourteen Carat Gold 
By Hank Locklin

C                                                       G7
A chain of steel a wall of stone could not keep me from you
                                                      C
But while your finger wears a ring of gold what can I do
                                   C7                  F
I'm burning up with love but still I'm left out in the cold
G7                                               C
Because you wear a yellow band of fourteen karat gold
 
                                               G7
I never should have let my heart go roaming by itself
                                                       C
But it gets awful lonesome when your heart sets on the shelf
                                    C7             F
I should have tied it with a string so it could be controlled
G7                                                C
To stay away from a yellow band of fourteen karat gold
 
                                             G7
I realize that I was wrong that I was all to blame
                                                C
If there's a ring upon her finger never fan the flame
                                  C7              F
I'm ready now to pay the price of loving much too bold
G7                                               C
