Dolly Parton – Silver Dagger (Guitar)

D
Don't sing love songs

               G
You'll wake my mother

                  D                Em
She's sleeping here right by my side

                C            Am
In her right hand is a silver dagger

              Em  C               D      C   D
She says that I     can't be your bride

 D
All men are fools

              G
So says my mother

                     D
They'll tell you again

           Em
Love and lies

                 C
And then they'll go

                  Am
And court some other

            Em  C            D    C   D
Leave you alone   to pine inside

          D             G
My daddy is a handsome devil

            D          Em
He's got a chain five miles long

           C                   Am
On every link, a heart does dangle

             Em  C                D           C   D
Of another maid    he's loved and wronged, ohhh

              D         G
Go court another tender maiden

                D                Em
In hopes that she might be your wife

                 C            Am
For I've been warned so I decided

              Em  C            D        C   D
I'll sleep alone    all of my life, ohh

D
Beware, beware, a silver dagger
