Standard (EADGBE)

I don't want your lonely mansion with a tear in every room,

All I want's the love you promised, beneath the halo'd moon.

But you think I should be happy with your money and your name,

And hide myself in sorrow, while you play your cheating game.

Chorus

Silver threads and golden needles, cannot mend this heart of mine.

And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wi..ne.

But you think I should be happy with your money and your name,

and hide myself in sorrow, while you play your cheating game.

(INTERLUDE:)

Silver threads and golden needles, cannot mend this heart of mine.

And I dare not drown my sorrows, in the warm glow of your wi..ne.

You can't buy my love with money, for I never was that kind,

Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine.

Outro

Silver threads and golden needles cannot me...nd..this heart of mi..ne.

(#3rd verse:)

I grew up in faded gingham, where love's a sacred thing.

You grew up in silk and satin, where love's a passing game.

I know now you never loved me and I know I was a fool,

to think your pride would let you, live by the Golden Rule.

Chorus
