Murdered Ballad Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]In [G]Maryhill, where I did [D]dwell,
Lived a maid I knew quite [G]well.
I courted her by night and [C]day,
She got [G]in the [D]family [G]way.
Silver dagger, turtle[D]dove,
you did not know, my Willie [G]dear,
the dreadful rhymes that would [C]come
when you [G]looked at [D]me in [G]fun
Right, old Willie, what can I [D]do?
I'll have to blame it all on [G]you
Make me wonder what you [C]said
Who the hell's [D]Willie?[G][D]
My name is [G]Fred
Silver dagger, turtle[D]dove
He did not know, well he [G]did
The dreadful rhymes that would [C]come
When you [G]poked [D]at me and [G]fought
She sat down and wept and [D]cried
Wished to God that she had [G]died
God, did not heed her plea
[C]So I shelled off[G] for pov[D]erty
[G]Silver Dagger and Doodle [D]Dog
He did not know, well he [G]did
The dreadful rhymes that
would be [C]drunk
When you [G]pulled that [D]knee in [G]fun
Went up the stairs with a [D]rope
Tried to cut a lily -white [G]throat
The rope was blunt and in the [C]pain
He took a [G]knife, blew [D]out her [G]brain
Juggled up, silver dag[D]ger
You did not know, my Willie [G]love
The dreadful rhyme that would be [C]sung
When your [G]foe [D]met me in [G]fun
They found a lion on the [D]ground
In a bosom, there's no day [G]found
A bottle of salt, a bag of [C]coal
Two [D]sliced [G]loaves an[D]d a toilet r[G]oll
Silver dagger and [D]turtledove
He did not know, well, he [G]did
That dreadful rivalry would come
[C]When you bot[G]h had[D] me in min[G]d

[Outro 1]
