Silver Threads and Golden Needles chords
Wanda Jackson 1956 (Rhodes & Reynolds)

Capo II

D C G

G                                       C
I don't want your lonely mansion with a tear in every room
                         G                           D
I just want the love you promised beneath the halo'd moon
        G                                 C
But you think I should be happy with your money and your name
                         G                D                  G
And pretend that I don't notice while you play your cheating games

G      C                                      G
Silver threads and golden needles can t patch up this heart of mine
                               D
And I never drown my sorrow in the warm glow of your wine
          G                            C
You can't buy my love with money for I never was that kind
       G                                D                      G
Silver threads and golden needles can t patch up this heart of mine

G D G

G                                    C
I grew up in a faded keno where love is a sacred thing
                        G                             D
You grew up in silk and satin where love is a passing game
       G                            C
I know now you never loved me and I know I was the fool
                          G            D             G
To think your pride would let you live by the golden rule

G      C                                      G
Silver threads and golden needles can t patch up this heart of mine
                               D
And I never drown my sorrow in the warm glow of your wine
          G                            C
You can't buy my love with money for I never was that kind
       G                                D                      G
Silver threads and golden needles can t patch up this heart of mine
