Silver Dagger chords by The Staves
Guitar chords with lyrics
F C F
Don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother
C Dm
She's sleeping here right by my side
A# Gm
And in her right hand a silver dagger
Dm A# C
She says that I can't be your bride
C F
"All men are false", says my mother
C Dm
"They'll tell you wicked, lovin' lies
A# Gm
The very next evening, they'll court another
Dm A# C
Leave you alone to pine and sigh"
C F
My daddy is a handsome devil
C Dm
He's got a chain five miles long
A# Gm
And on every link a heart does dangle
Dm A# C
Of another maid he's loved and wronged
C F
Go court another tender maiden
C Dm
And hope that she will be your wife
A# Gm
For I've been warned, and I've decided
Dm A# C
To sleep alone all of my life
