The Brian Jonestown Massacre – Silver Dagger (Guitar)

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.

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.

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.

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.
