Fourteen Carat Gold - Hank Locklin

Fourteen Carat Gold chords

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

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    




                                    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

A girl who wears a yellow band of fourteen karat gold
