On the banks of the river, _ _ _ _ where the willows hang down, _ _ _ _
And the wild [C#m] birds all warble, _ _ _ _ [A] with a low [E] moaning sound,
_ _ _ _ _ _
Down in [C#m] the hollow, _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] where the waters [E] run cold,
_ _ _ _ It was there I [A] first listened, _ _ _ _ to the lies that [E] you told.
_ _ _ _ Now I lie on my bed, _ _ _ _ _ and I see your sweet _ face, _ _ _ _
The past I [G#] _ remember, _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ [A]
time cannot _ [E] erase, _
_ _ _ _ The letter you [C#m] wrote me, _ _ _ it [A] was written [E] in _ _ _ shame,
_ _ And I know [A] that your conscience, _
_ _ _ _ _ [E]
still echoes my _ name. _ _ _ _ _

Now _ _ _ _ the nights are so long, _ _ _ _ _
Lord sorrow runs _ deep, _ _ _ _
And nothing _ [C#m] is _ _ _ _ worse, [A] than a night [E] without _ sleep, _ _ _ _
I walk out [C#m] _ alone, _ _ _ _ _
[A] and look at [E] the _ sky, _ _ _ _
Too empty [A] to [E] see, _ _ [A] _ _ _
too [C#m] lonesome [E] to cry,
_ _ _ _ _
If the ladies were _ _ blackbirds, _ _ _ and the ladies were _ _ _ thrushes, _ _ _
I'd lie there [C#m] for _ hours, _ _ _ _ [A] in the chilly [E] cold _ _ _ marshes, _
If the ladies were [C#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ squirrels, [A] with the high bushy [E] _ _
tails, _ _ _ _
I'd [A] fill up my shotgun, _ _ _ _ _ _
with [C#m] rock salt and [E] _
nails. _ _ _ _
