The Ring Song

C Am F G C Am F G

[Chorus]
               C               Am       F             G
Well there’s a ring around the moon, a ring around the rosy
  C               Am        F               G
a ring around my socks that keep my feet so cozy
     C            C7          F               Dm
well I’m a single woman and I don’t need many things
   F                        G            C
so why don’t my poor little finger got a ring

[Verse 1]
C           Am           F             G
Once upon a time, turns out it’s complicated
    C             Am            Dm           G
for Tommy Lee in second grade I waited and I waited
  C                C7            F                 Dm
I wrote a note on Valentines and said check yes or no
    F                        G                    C
he crumpled up my paper so I punched him in the throat

(no break between verse and chorus)

[Chorus]
               C               Am      F               G
Well there’s a ring around the moon, a ring around the rosy
  C               Am        F               G
a ring around my socks that keep my feet so cozy
     C            C7          F               Dm
well I’m a single woman and I don’t need many things
   F                        G             C
so why don’t my poor little finger got a ring

(intro rif between chorus and verses)

[Verse 2]
   C               Am             F               G
I bought a wedding dress just in case someone was lookin’
   C             Am            Dm               G
I practiced on my sewin’ and I practiced all my cookin’
  C                C7                F               Dm
I found a handsome guy who said he’d love me like no other
     F                          G                  C
but sadly mama says it doesn’t count since he’s my brother

[Chorus]
               C               Am     F                G
Well there’s a ring around the moon, a ring around the rosy
  C               Am        F               G
a ring around my socks that keep my feet so cozy
     C            C7                F         Dm
well I’m a single woman and I don’t need many things
    F                        G           C
so why don’t my poor little finger got a ring

[Verse 3]
(Diamonds)
   C            Am            F              G
I finally got a strategy and caught myself a man
   C                 Am              F              G
I pepper sprayed his eyeballs and I threw him in my van
  C               C7                 F                Dm
I took him to the church and when at last we heard the bells
   F                          G               G (stay on G here)
he somehow got away and now i hope he goes to WELL

[Chorus]
               C               Am     F                G
Well there’s a ring around the moon, a ring around the rosy
  C               Am        F               G
a ring around my socks that keep my feet so cozy
     C            C7          F               Dm
well I’m a single woman and I don’t need many things
   F                        G            C
so why don’t my poor little finger got a ring
