This song is pretty easy. It's really just three chord formations (E, A, and B7)
strummed with the thumb throughout. Note the upstroke and downstroke symbols
to indicate the rhythm. Listen to the album to get the feel for this one. Good luck!

Where you running to now, baby?

I've been trying to reach you, darlin'.

Though I try, I try in vain.

I always end up losing you

And walking home in the rain.

Wedding ring, wedding ring;

Little band of gold.

Will you be strong enough to keep her,

Keep her love from going cold?

There's a wildcat in you, woman,

A wildcat on the prowl.
A A
There's a wildcat in you, woman,

A wildcat on the prowl.

Every time I put my arms around you

I can hear that wildcat growl.

I remember when I met you

There was something about the moon.

I remember the night I met you
E E
There was something about the moon.

I don't know if it was waxing or waning,

But I knew that you'd be leaving soon.

Wedding ring, wedding ring;
A E E
Little band of gold.

Wedding ring, wedding ring;

Little band of gold.

Will you be strong enough to keep her,
A E E
Keep her love from going cold?

Wedding ring, wedding ring;
A E E
Little band of gold.
A
Wedding ring, wedding ring;
E E
Little band of gold.

Will you be strong enough to keep her,
A E E
Keep her love from going cold?
[Outro]
B7
Will you be strong enough to keep her,

To keep her love from getting old?
B7
Will you be strong enough to keep her,
A E
