Silver Dagger chords by The Staves

Chords with lyrics

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