[Intro]
Em Em Em Em

[Verse 1]
                    Em
Oh, I have a silver blade....
          D
The edges sharp, the handle bone.
            Am
A pretty thing of silver made...
           C
Now it's the only thing I own.
Em              Em
Once I knew a lordling fine....
D            D
I heard him whistle as he rode.
             Am
And I was bold to call him mine....
C
The shoes upon his horse were gold.

[Interlude]
Em  D Am C

[Verse 2]
            Em
One look in my eyes and he...
          D
Bid me climb onto his horse.
              Am
And asked if I'd his lady be...
             C
And go away for ever more?
                     Em
He spoke of love songs at each kiss...
            D
And I who was a young girl then,
            Am
Was promised every young girl's bliss...
                     C
Got up and rode away with him.

[Interlude]
Em D Am C

[Verse 3]
                    Em
He led me through his castle tall...
                D
With promises and jewels until.
           Am
He led me through his castle hall...
          C
Then took my clothes and worked his will.
              Em
And when he had and I lay there...
            D
From my head with a silver blade.
                Am
He cut a lock of my cold black hair...
               C
And bid me dress and go my way.

[Solo]
Em D Am C
Em D Am Am

[Verse 4]
                    Em
But I marked well the silver blade...
D              D
And where he laid it when he did.
                  Am
And when his back was turned away...
              C
I buried it beneath his ribs.
            Em
I used the dagger as a spade...
                D
Where the thorns and lilacs grow.
                 Am
I cut the ground into a grave...
                C
In a place even God don't know.

[Verse 5]
         Em
And every evening I returned...
             D
To the place for him I chose.
             Am
Until his skin had turned to worms...
               C
Wild dogs scattered his bones.
                       Em
And all I have of what I was...
          D
Is the memory of a maid.
             Am
Who mistook a thief for love...
                  C
But who gained a silver blade.

[Solo]

[Outro]
Em D Am C
Silver blade.
