[Verse 1]

        C                               F
I grew up in ragged gingham where love is a sacred thing
                         C                                  G  G7
You grew up in silk and satins where love's just a passing game
        C                                F
I know now you've never loved me, oh I know I's just a fool
                           C                G             C
To think your pride would let you live love by the golden rule


[Chorus]

       F                                 C
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
                                                          G   G7
And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine
           C                                   F
You can't buy my love with money cause I ain't never been that kind
                           C              G                  C
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine

[Verse 2]

        C                               F
I don't want your lonely mansion with a tear in every room
                            C                               G  G7
All I want is the love you promised once beneath the haloed moon
         C                                F
But you think I should be happy with your money and your name
                       C                G                    C    C7
Sit alone and bide my sorrows while you play love's cheating game


[Chorus]

       F                                 C
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
                                                         A# F  G
And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine
           C                                   F
You can't buy my love with money cause I ain't never been that kind
                           C              G                  C   C7
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine


[Outro]

       F                                 C
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
                                                         A# F  G
And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine
           C                                   F
You can't buy my love with money cause I ain't never been that kind
                           C            A# F G               F    C G C
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
