Intro: C  F  C 

C                        F                        C 
On the banks of the river where the willows hang down 
                    Am    F                C 
And wild birds all warble with a low moaning sound 
                Am     F                    C 
Way down in the hollow where the water runs cold 
                     F                            C 
That's where I first listened to the lies that you told 

C                   F                    C 
Now I lie on my bed and I see your sweet face 
              Am        F       C 
The past I remember time cannot erase 
               Am       F                 C 
The letter you wrote me it was written in shame 
                    F                         C 
And I know that your conscience still echo's my name 

C                    F                       C 
Now the nights are so long, and sorrow runs deep 
                 Am      F                 C 
And nothing is worse than a night without sleep 
               Am      F            C 
I'll walk out alone, I look at the sky 
              F                    C 
Too empty to sing, too lonesome to cry 

C                     F                             C 
So if you ladies were blackbirds, if you ladies were thrushes 
                   Am     F                C 
I'd lie there for hours in the cold chilly marshes 
                    Am       F               C 
If you ladies were squirrel's with high bushy tails 
                F                        C 
I'd fill up my shotgun with rock salt and nails
