Silver Dagger

INTRO: Keep strumming the G into 
"Don't".

      D                            
Don't sing love songs; you'll wake 
   G
my mother,

               D                 
She's sleeping here, right by my 
Em
side.

           C                   
And in her right hand, a silver 
 Am
dagger.

              Em C           
She says that I  can't be your 
  D
bride.

All men are false, says my mother,
They'll tell you wicked, lovin' 
lies.
The very next evening, they'll court
 another,
Leave you alone to pine and sigh.

My daddy is a handsome devil
He's got a chain five miles long,
And on every link a heart does 
dangle
Of another maid he's loved and 
wronged.

Go court another tender maiden,
And hope that she will be your wife,
For I've been warned, and I've 
decided
To sleep alone all of my life.
