[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
[Break]

[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
