Silver Dagger — The Brian Jonestown Massacre

Intro: D

Verse:
D                                     G
Don't sing your songs, you'll wake my father
              D                 Em
He's sleeping here, right by my side
           C              Am
And in his hand, a silver dagger,
             Em           D
He says that you can't be me bride.

Verse:
D                               G
All women are false, so says my father,
                 D              Em
They'll tell you wicked, lovin' lies.
              C                  Am
The very next day, they'll court another,
          Em                D
Leave you alone to pine and sigh.

Verse:
D                   G
My mommy is a awful devil
            D                Em
She's got a chain five miles long,
             C                 Am
And on every link a heart does dangle
           Em                  D
Of another man she's loved and wronged.

Verse:
D                          G
So Go and court some other sucker,
              D                Em
And hope that you can't be his wife,
              C                Am
For I've been warned, and I've decided
         Em                   D
To sleep alone, for all of my life.
