[G] [F]
[C]
[G]
By the banks of the river where [C]
the [G] willows hang down
And the wild birds [Em] are wobbling [C]
with the low [G] morning sand
Down in [Em] the hollow [C]
where the water [G] runs cold
It was there I [F] first listened to [C]
the lies that [G] you told
And now I lie on my bed [C]
and I see your [G] sweet face
And the past I [Em]
remember [C]
time [G] can't erase
The letter [Em] you wrote [C] me, ever written [G] in shame
And I know that [F] your conscience [C]
still [G] echoes my name
[F]
[C]
[G]
How the nights are so lonely, Lord sorrow runs deep
But nothing [Em] in the world can [C]
spare me nights [G] without sleep
I walk out [Em]
[C]
and look at [G] the sky, too empty [F] to see
[C]
Too lonesome [G] to cry
[F]

[F]
[C]
[G]
if the ladies were blackbirds
[C] And if the [G] ladies were squirrels, I'd be out there [Em] for [C]
hours
As the chilly [G] cold marshes
If the ladies [Em] were squirrels, [C]
but they're [G] high-fledged tales
I'd fill up my [F] shotgun
[C] with [Em] rocks of [G] things
I'd fill up [F] my shotgun
[C] with rocks of things
[C]
[G]
