This is my interpretation with a great deal of "help" from my teacher Joe Kuykendall.
The first verse is strummed slowly, each chord only once. The subsequent verses have a
couple of additional chords that are left out in the first verse.
------------
I ain't gonna marry in the fall
Ain't gonna marry in the spring
Cause I'm in love with a pretty little girl
Who wears a diamond ring
And I'm just a country boy
Money have I none
But I've got silver in the stars
Gold in the morning sun
Gold in the morning sun
I'm never gonna kiss the ruby red lips
Of the prettiest girl in town
Never gonna ask her if she'd marry me
I know she'd turn me down
'Cause I'm just a country boy
Money have I none
But I've got silver in the stars
Gold in the morning sun
Gold in the morning sun
I never could afford a store bought ring
With the sparkling diamond stone
All I could afford was a loving heart
The only one I own
'Cause I'm just a country boy
Money have I none
But I've got silver in the stars
Gold in the morning sun
Gold in the morning sun
