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                               D
I ain't gonna marry in the fall
               E7            A
Ain't gonna marry in the spring
E                          A          F#m
Cause I'm in love with a pretty little girl
       D            E7
Who wears a diamond ring


A             D        A
And I'm just a country boy
             D
Money have I none
Bmaj7        E7    A             F#m
But I've got silver in the stars
Bmaj7  E7       A
Gold   in the morning sun
D    E7              A
Gold in the morning sun

 Of the prettiest girl in town

I know she'd turn me down

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

Gold   in the morning sun
