Silver Dagger — Joan Baez
Chords and lyrics for Silver Dagger by Joan Baez (key of G).
Verse 1
Don't[A] sing love songs you'll wake my[D] mother,
She's sleeping [A]here right by [Bm]my side,
And in her [G]right hand, a silver [Em]dagger
She says [Bm][G]that I can't be [A]your bride
Verse 2
[A]All men are false, says[D] my mother,
[A]They'll tell you wicked, [Bm]lovin' lies.
The[G] very next evening, [Em]they'll court another,
[Bm]Leave[G] you alone to [A]pine and sigh.
Verse 3
My[A] daddy is a [D]handsome devil
[A]He's got a chain five [Bm]miles long,
And[G] on every link a [Em]heart does dangle
Of[Bm] [G]another maid he's[A] loved and wronged.
Verse 4
Go[A] court another [D]tender maiden,
And[A] hope that she will[Bm] be your wife,
For[G] I've been warned, [Em]and I've decided
To[Bm] [G]sleep alone all [A]of my life.
