C           Fmaj7       Em       C7
Never gonna kiss those ruby red lips
         F       Em      A#7  A
Of the sweetest girl in town
Dm          F/A                C     Am
Never gonna ask her if she'll marry me
        Fmaj7 Em      Dm      G
Cause I know  she'll turn me down

Chorus:
       C Dm                G       C            F
Cause I'm  just a country boy and money have I none
F    Dm7      Am     E   E7         Am   G
But I've got silver, silver in the stars
     F  Dm7      G       C F G C
And gold in the morning sun

Never could afford no store-bought ring
With a sparkly diamond stone.
All I have to offer is a love that's true,
It's the only one I own.

And I'm just a country boy
And money, money have I none.
Oh, but I've got silver, silver in the stars
And gold in the morning sun.

Ain't gonna marry in the fall,
Never gonna marry in the spring
'Cause I am in love with a pretty little girl
That wears a diamond ring.

And I'm, I'm just a country boy
And money, money have I none.
Oh, but I've got silver, silver in the stars
And gold in the morning sun
