WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Richard Thompson - She Cut Off Her Long Silken Hair Chords | Ver. 1
[Verse 1]
D
Midnight in her room
G D
There was music and incense and mirrors all around
Bm
By the light of the moon
G A
Her silver dress slipped to the ground
D
Then she knelt like Saint Joan
G D
And invisible armies attended her there
Bm
And her knife brightly shone
G A D
As she cut off her long silken hair
[Bridge]
F#m
Trapped, I suppose
Bm E
Lied for my sake
Em Bm
Crushed like the rose
G A
That somebody picked by mistake
[Verse 2]
D
Oh I knew it would come
G D
I knew she would leave me for some better start
Bm
Oh I knew it would come
G A
She was too well rehearsed in her part
D
And I measured my life
G A
And my heart fairly broke with the sorrow and care
Bm
As she took down the knife
G A D
And she cut off her long silken hair
[Verse 3]
D
Oh there's some who believe
G D
Oh there's some who believe there are reasons to lie
Bm
And there's some who deceive
G A
And the truth is right there in their eyes
D
Oh but I don't see why
G A
In all of my life I've seen nothing so fair
Bm
And I don't see why
G A D
She cut off her long silken hair
[Outro]
Gm D
I don't see why
Gm D
I don't see why
