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.
------------
[A]I ain't gonna marry in the fall[D]
Ain't gonna mar[E7]ry in the spri[A]ng
[E]Cause I'm in love with a pr[A]etty little[F#m] girl
Who wea[D]rs a diamond [E7]ring
[A]And I'm just a[D] country [A]boy
Money have I [D]none
[Bmaj7]But I've got [E7]silver[A] in the stars[F#m]
[Bmaj7]Gold [E7]in the mo[A]rning sun
[D]Gold [E7]in the morning s[A]un
[A]I'm never gonna kiss[D] the ruby red [E]lips
[D] Of the [E7]prettiest girl in t[A]own
[Bm7]Never gonna ask her if sh[A]e'd marry me[F#m]
I [D]know she'd turn me d[E7]own
[A]'Cause I'm just a[D] country [A]boy
Money have I no[D]ne
[Bmaj7]But I've got [E7]silver[A] in the stars[F#m]

[D]Gold [E7]in the morning s[A]un
