We got married in a fever hotter than a pepper sprout
C                                  C7
We've been talking 'bout Jackson  ever since the fire went out
C                F                   C
I'm going to  Jackson, gonna mess around
C                      F        G7               C

Chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug.
                         B
Make you want to holler, hi-de-ho!
                  E
Burns your tummy, dont'cha know.
B                  E
Chug-A-lug, chug-A-lug.

[Chorus]
C             Am         Dm      G
   Don't know when  I've been so blue
C             Am         Bm     E
   Don't know what's come over you
Am              C    D
You've found someone new
     F                Em          F                Em
And don't it make my brown eyes, don't it make my brown eyes
F                           C
Don't it make my brown eyes blue.

[Chorus]
     G
Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man
D
We get together every time we can

The Mississippi River can't keep us apart
                               G          D
There's too much love in this Mississippi heart
                       G        D
Too much love in this Louisiana heart
                               G          D
There's too much love in this Mississippi heart
                       G        D
Too much love in this Louisiana heart

[Chorus]
C          Dm      G                      C
I beg your pardon..I never promised you a rose garden.
               Dm        G
Along with the sunshine..there's gotta be a little
C
rain, sometimes.

         F
When you take you got to give, so, live and let
             Dm
live, or let go..whoa..whoa..whoa..whoa..
           G                              C
I beg your pardon..I never promised you a rose garden.

[Chorus]
G                C   D             G        Em
I know you loved him, a long time ago
               Am   D                     G    C    G
Even now in my arms, you still want him I know
                  C   D                   G          Em
But Darlin' this time, let your memories die
                   Am     D                 C   G
When you hold me tonight, don't close your eyes

[Verse 1]
              G
                In a pawn shop in Chicago
                on a sunny sumer day
                  D7
                A couple gazes at the wedding
                G           C     G
                rings there on display
               G
                She smiles and nods her head
                G
                as he says Honey that's for you.
                G
                It's not much but it's the
                D7              G
                best that I can do.

[Chorus]

                    D7 G
                Golden Ring
                With one tiny little stone
                        D7
                Waiting there
                        G
                for someone to take it home
                   D7 G
                By itself
                it's just a cold metalic thing
                                     D7             G      D7
                Only love can make a golden wedding ring.
