Roger McGuinn - Silver Dagger lyrics

I won't [A] sing love songs, I'll wake your [D] mother She's sleeping [A] there, right by your [Bm] side And in her [G] right hand is a sliver [Em] dagger She says that [G] you can never be my [A] bride All men are false, so says your mother They tell you wicked, loving lies The very next evening, they'll court another Leave you alone to pine and sigh Your daddy is a handsome wrangler He's got a chain five miles long From every link a heart does dangle Of some fair maid he's loved and wronged I'll court another tender maiden And hope that she will be my wife For you've been warned and you've decided To sleep alone all of your life
