Verse 1

Gm Fear and self loathing Dm Forged a chain of silver ore F By the time I stop singing

{tab: C |A|--3--2--0--|}

You won't love me anymore Gm I ran to the river Dm Crying, river cure me F But the river just laughed C Washing sand over me

Chorus

Gm A# Girl child your daddy's D# A# Silver chain's nine miles long G# Gm From every link of that chain F D# Gm Hangs a heart he has wronged Gm A# Little girl take the length D# A# Of your father's bright chain G# Gm And bind me to you D# I don't care what you do

Verse 2

Gm I ran to the fire Dm "Fire purify me" F The fire licked my skin

{tab: C |A|--3--2--0--|}

But it did not set me free Gm I turned to the bottle Dm Alcohol cure me F Let me sleep without dreaming C Alcohol lied to me

Chorus

Bridge

Gm I spoke to the forest I spoke to the trees Dm I spoke to the river but it did not speak to me F I carved your name in the cypress tree bark C I tattooed your name in a ring round my heart Gm I wore out my welcome I wore out myself Dm I wore out my reason I wore out my health F C I forgot my name On the day that you came...

Chorus
