Fleet Foxes – Silver Dagger (Guitar)

                  A                    D
Don't sing love songs, you'll wake my mother

                 A               Bm
She's sleeping here right by my side

                   G            Em
And in her right hand a silver dagger,

              Bm                A
She says that I can't be your bride.

             A                 D
All men are false, says my mother,

                  A               Bm
They'll tell you wicked, lovin' lies.

                  G                     Em
The very next evening, they'll court another,

            Bm                A
Leave you alone to pine and sigh.

         A              D
My daddy is a handsome devil

             A                Bm
He's got a chain five miles long,

               G                  Em
And on every link a heart does dangle

            Bm                    A
Of another maid he's loved and wronged.

          A              D
So court another tender maiden,

               A                Bm
And hope that she will be your wife,

               G                   Em
For I have been warned, and I've decided

           Bm             A
To sleep alone all of my life.
