[Intro]
G Cadd9

[Verse]
G                    Cadd9 G                         Cadd9 G
By the banks of the river where the willows hang down
G                   Em7  Cadd9                    G Cadd9
And wild birds they warble with a low moaning sound
G           Em7 Cadd9                      G Cadd9
Down in the hollow where the waters run cold
G                    F       C/G                   G
It was there I first listened to the lies that you told

[Verse]
G                  C G                         C G
Now I lie on my back and I see your sweet face
           Em       C          G
The past I remember time can't erase
                    Em       C                    G     C G
And the letters you wrote me they were written in shame
                     F          C/G             G    C G
And I know that your conscience still echoes my name

[Verse]
G                               C G                            C G
Now if the ladies were blackbirds and the ladies were thrushes
                  Em    C                  G       C G
I’d lie there for hours in the chilly cold marshes
                   Em        C               G     C G
If the ladies were squirrels with high bushy tails
               F       C/G                G     C G
I’d fill up my shotgun with rock salt and nails
               F       C/G                G     C G
I’d fill up my shotgun with rock salt and nails
