Verse 1

G                                                     C
I don't want your lonely mansion with a tear in every room
                           G                           D7
All I want is the love you promised beneath the haloed moon
              G                                          C
But you think I should be happy with your money and your name
                   G                D7                 G
And hide myself in sorrow while you play your cheating game

Verse 2

       C                                                    G
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
                                       C                 F
And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine
D7                    G                                 C
You can't buy my love with money cause I never was that kind
                          G                   F             G
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine

Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
                                       C                 F
And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine
D7                    G                                 C
You can't buy my love with money cause I never was that kind
                          G              F                  G
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
