                     C                               F
I don't want your lonely mansion with a tear in every room 
                            C                           G  G7
All I want is the love you promised beneath the haloed moon 
         C                                 F
But you think I should be happy with your money and your name 
                    C                G                  C
And hide myself in sorrow while you play your cheating game 
 
        F                                 C
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine 
                                        A#                 G
And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine 
           C                              F
You can't buy my love with money cause I never was that kind 
                           C              G                  C
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine 
 
F C A# G  C F C G C
 
        F                                 C
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine 
                                        A#                 G
And I dare not drown my sorrows in the warm glow of your wine 
 .          C                              F
You can't buy my love with money cause I never was that kind 
                           C              G                  C
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine 
        F                  C              A#      F             C
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend   this heart of mine

This song has some great chord progressions, but I think it misses a big opportunity for guitar learners. The lyrical content is strong, but the simplicity of the chords C, F, and G doesn’t really challenge players or help them develop a wider range of techniques. If you're a beginner, sure, it's manageable, but I’d love to see some variations or additional chords that could elevate the performance and teach players more about voicings and transitions. Learning guitar should also be about exploring creativity, not just playing the same set of chords. Let's push for more depth in guitar learning materials!
