[Verse 1]
Gm
Fear and self loathing
Dm
Forged a chain of silver ore
F
By the time I stop singing
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
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]
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
[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]
Gm A#
Girl child your daddy's
D# A#
Silver chain's nine miles long

From every link of that chain
F D# Gm
Hangs a heart he has wronged
Gm A#
Little girl take the length

And bind me to you
