The Broken Wedding Ring chords

[C]A cowboy with his sweetheart stood [F]beneath a starlit [C]sky

[F]Tomorrow he was [C]leaving for the [D7]lonesome prairie [G7]wide

[C]She said I'll be your loving bride when [F]you return some[C]day

[F]He handed her a [C]broken ring and [G7]to her he did [C]say

You'll find upon that ring sweetheart my [F]name engraved in [C]gold

[F]And I shall keep the [C]other half which [G7]bears your name you [C]know

Three years have passed he did not come and [F]Nell will wed [C]tonight

[F]Her father said an [C]Earl would make [D7]her happy home so [G7]bright

[C]The lights were gaily glowing as they [F]stood there side by [C]side

[F]Let's drink a toast to [C]this young man and [G7]to his lovely [C]bride

Just then there stood within the door a [F]figure tall and [C]slim

[F]A handsome cowboy [C]was their guest and [D7]slowly he walked [G7]in

[C]I'll drink with you a toast said he and [F]quickly in her [C]glass

[F]He dropped a half of [C]wedding ring then [G7]anxiously he [C]watched

She tipped her glass and from her lips a [F]ring fell shining [C]bright

[F]The token she had [C]longed to see lay [D7]there beneath the [G7]light

[C]Though years have been between us dear [F]love won our last long [C]fight

[F]It's you my cowboy [C]sweetheart and my [G7]Jack I'll wed to[C]night
