(CN.C.)I don’t (C)want your (C)lone (G7)ly (C)man sion with a tear in ev ’ry room.

All I want’s the love you (C)prom ised

But you (C)think I (C)should (G7)be (C)hap py with your (F)mon ey and your name,

and hide my self in (C)sor row while you (G7)play your (G7)cheat in’ game.

(C7)Sil ver (F)threads and gold (C)en (F)nee dles can not mend this heart of mine

and I dare not drown my sor row

in the (F6/9)warm glow of your (Bb)wine.

But you think I (C)should (G7)be (C)hap py with your (F)mon ey and your name Sil and hide my self in (C)sor row while you (G7)play your (G7)cheat in’ (C)game.

(C7)Sil ver (F)threads and gold (C)en (F)nee dles can not mend this heart of mine

and I dare not drown my sor row

in the (F6/9)warm glow of your (Bb)wine.

You can’t buy my (C)love (G7)with (C)mon ey, for I (F)nev er was that kind.

Sil ver threads and gold en (C)nee dles can not (G7)play your (G7)cheat in’ (C)game.

(C7)Sil ver (Eb)mend

this heart of mine.
