Silver Threads And Golden Needles Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]It was Friday [F]night[C][G][F][C][G]
And both of us were [C]lonely
We seemed to meet as lonely people do
To fill [G]the empty space till Monday morning
I never meant to fall in love with you
[F]

[Verse 2]
[D]
You came [G]right out and told me
[C]About your wife back home in Houston
You were just in town on business
And [G]never tried to lead me on

[Verse 3]
But the time had [D]seemed just [G]fine
Simply love you for the moment
But [C]Heaven help me, time ran out
And now the moment's gone

[Verse 4]
Sil[G]ver wings and golden [F]rings
[D]Are taking you today
[G]I'll be dying on the ground
While you [C]are flying away

[Verse 5]
Silver [C]wings and golden rings
Are shinning on and [G]on
[D]While the only love
[G]I've [C]ever known is gone

[Verse 6]
You [C]made me feel like
I [G]was something special
The way no other man
had ever done
I knew last night would have
to last forever
'Cause there's no way from
holding back the sun

[Verse 7]
Now [F]I guess it's time for me
To drive you to the plane
To hold back all my tears
[D]An d tell you it's been nice

[Verse 8]
If you come [G]back to town again
You know I'd love to see you
But remember I'm not [C]strong enough
To let go of you twice

[Verse 9]
Silver [C]wings and golden rings
Are [G]taking you today
I'll be dying on the ground
[D]While you are fly[G]ing away

[Interlude 1]
[G][F][C][G][A]

[Verse 10]
Silver [D]wings and golden rings
Are shinning on [A]an d on
While the only love
I've ever known is gone

[Verse 11]
[A]Silver wings and golden rings
[G]Are [E]taking you [A]today
I'll be dying on the [D]ground
While you [A]are flying [D]away
[A]Silver

[Verse 12]
[D]wings and golden [A]rings
Are [E]shinning on and on
While [A]the only love
I've ever known is gone

I'll be [A]dying
