 Goin' For Broke
 
 Intro  G D C G C G D C G  
 
 G		     D		       C		     G
 Didn't have much money back then  but I saved up everything
 C		        G		           D
 Hitched a ride into town one evening  and I bought you a ring
 G		          D	          C		               G
 It didn't shine like diamonds but god it meant a lot to me
 C		         G		             C		G
 I was so proud when you said yes when I got down on my knee
 G		  	           D		    C		          G
 You should know by now that news travels fast In this one story town
 G		  D	            C		           G
 I overheard a conversation one day as I was settin down
 G		               D	                C
 G
 In the coffee shop well the tales grow tall sometimes they're true
 C	             G		      D	      C	     G
 I heard a man describin' this woman  It sounded a lot like you
 Em		 	        D			      C
 G
 He said her husband was gone all last week on a cattle run to Santa Fe
 C		       G		          D
 Now he had to lay low for awhile  He's comin home today
 Em			D  	          C		            G
 And he went on to laugh about this cheap ol ring she wore
 C		G		               D	    C		G
 I heard my world crumblin in my ears  Then I walked out the door
 
 	C		           D		           G  <Walk Down>
 Em
 Did he sweep you off your feet last night  Did you plan out who he would
 be
 	C		               D		           G  <Walk
 Down>  Em
 Now you're just a laugh in his coffee shop story  How could you do this to
 me
 	C		           D		           G  <Walk Down>
 Em
 When I promised forever and you said I Do  I guess that didn't mean a
 thing
 	G			           D		            	C
 So last night when you loved him God I hope you took off your ring
 
 G	      D		       C		              G
 We wander through this life  searchin for something strong
 C			     G		      D
 We build our house on trust and love and pray that nothing goes wrong
 G	              D	       C		     G
 I'm takin off my ring tonight to show you how I feel
 C		         G		                D	     C
 G
 The next time you go makin those promises   Make a few that are real
 
 Chorus
 
 	      G			      D			   C
 G(strum once slowly)
 Yeah last night when you loved him God I hope you took off your ring
