[G]
By the banks of the river where the willows hang down
[E] And the wild birds they [Em]
warble [G] with [C] a low [G] moaning sound
[D] Way down in [Em] the hollow where [C]
the river [G]
runs cold
It was there [D] I [F] first listened [G] to [C]
the lies that [G] you told
[C] [G]
Now [Em] I lie on [G] my back
[C] [G] and I [Em] see your [G] sweet face
[C] [G]
From [D] the past [Em] I remember
[C]
time [G] can't erase
[C] [G]
[E] And the letters you [Em]
wrote me
[C] they were written in [G] shame
[C] [G]
And I know that [F] your conscience [G]
[C] still echoes [G] my name

if the [C] ladies [G] were [C] thrushes
[G]
Well [A] I'd lie [Em] there for hours
[C] in the chilly [G] cold marshes
[C] [G]
And if [D] the [Em] women were squirrels
[C] with them high [G] bushy tails
[C] [G]
Well I'd load up [F] my shotgun [C] with rock salt and [G] nails
[C]
[G] I'd load up [N] my shotgun
