( Capo 4)
D G C
I don't want your lonely mansion with a tear in every room
G F D
All I want is the love you promised beneath the haloed moon
G C
But you think I should be happy with your money and your name
G D G
And hide myself in sorrow while you play your cheating game
Chorus:
C G
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
G F D
And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine
G C
You can't buy my love with money ‘cause I never was that kind
C G D G
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
Instrumental:
GC CG FD
GC CGDG
(Final Chorus)
Outro:
C G F C G FCG
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
