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.

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

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.

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.
