The Dead did this song two different ways. The version here is intact with a different first verse
(the 5/15/70 was used for reference). Earlier versions (such as the "Rare Cuts and Oddities" version) have
Bob singing this version's second verse twice.
[Intro]
C F C G
C F C G C
[Verse 1]
C F I grew up in ragged gingham where love is a sacred thing C G G7 You grew up in silk and satins where love's just a passing game C F I know now you've never loved me, oh I know I's just a fool C G C To think your pride would let you live love by the golden rule
[Chorus]
F C Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine G G7 And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine C F You can't buy my love with money cause I ain't never been that kind C G C Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
[Break]
C F C G G7
C F C G C
[Verse 2]
C F I don't want your lonely mansion with a tear in every room C G G7 All I want is the love you promised once beneath the haloed moon C F But you think I should be happy with your money and your name C G C C7 Sit alone and bide my sorrows while you play love's cheating game
[Chorus]
F C Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine A# F G And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine C F You can't buy my love with money cause I ain't never been that kind C G C C7 Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
[Outro]
F C Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine A# F G And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine C F You can't buy my love with money cause I ain't never been that kind C A# F G F C G C Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
