By the banks of the river             Where the willows hang down               And wild birds they warble

                                  Dsus2  C  Dsus2                      Em                  C                                            G    C   G

With a low moaning sound          Way down in the hollow,                           Where the river runs cold                                   

                            Em        C                                      G     C    G

It   was     there   I    first  listened            to the lies that you told.

 

                                     C  G                                                G  C  G                 Em       C          

 Now I lie on my back,            and  I see your sweet face.                 The past   I    re member,                  

                     Dsus2 C  Dsus2                           Em            C                                           G   C   G

 Time can’t erase              And the letters you wrote me           they were written in shame

                                    Em              C                                G    C   G        (ins)                                  

And I know that your conscience,          Still echoes my name

 

                                                       C   G                                               C    G                             Em   C

Now if the ladies were blackbirds             if the ladies were thrushes               I’d lie there for hours,     in the

                      Dsus2   C  Dsus2                                    Em            C                                             G   C   G       

chilly cold marshes             And if the women were squirrels               with them high bushy tails, 

                         Em          C                                    G     C     G                            Em          C                               

I’d load up my  shotgun           With rock salt and nails              I’d fill up my  shotgun             with rock

             G       C    G

salt and nails.
