G                                       C
I don't want your lonely mansion with a tear in every room
                           G                           D 
All I want is the love you promised beneath the haloed moon
        G                                 C
But you think I should be happy with my money and my name
                   G                D                  G
And hide myself in sorrow while you play your cheating game

[Chorus] 
       C                                      G
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
                                       C                 F
And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine
D                G                         C
But you think I should be happy with money and my name
                          G              F                  G
And hide yourself in sorrow while you play your cheating game mine 
 
[Chorus]
       C                                      G
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
                                       C                 F
And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine
D             G                          C
You can't buy my love with money cause I never was that kind
                          G              F                  G
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine

[Chorus]
       C                                      G
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
                                       C                 F
And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine
D                G                         C
But you think I should be happy with money and my name
                          G              F                  G
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine

[Chorus]
       C                                      G
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
                                       C                 F
And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine
D                G                         C
But you think I should be happy with money and my name
                          G              F                  G
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
