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 

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 

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...

           G#           Gm 
From every link of that chain 
        F     D#     Gm 
Hangs a heart he has wronged
