[G] [Dm] [Bb] [C] [F]
By the banks of the river [Bb] where the [F] willows grow
And the [Dm] wild birds wobble [Bb] a strange sound [F] and so
By the banks [Dm] of the river [Bb] where the [F] waters run cold
Was [Bb] there I first listened to the [F] lies you told
[Dm]
[Bb] [Fm] [F] Now I lay here each night [Bb] all alone [F] and I weep
And nothing [Dm] ain't [Bb] worse than a night without [F] sleep
The letters [Dm] you wrote me [Bb] they're written [F] in shame
But I know that your [Bb] conscience still [F] echoes my name
[Dm] [Bb]
[F] Now if the ladies were blackbirds [Bb] and the [F] ladies were thrushes
I'd lay [Dm] for hours [Bb] in the cold [F] rainy marshes
If the [Dm] ladies were [Bb] squirrels with big [F] bushy tails
I'd fill up [Bb] my shotgun with [F] rocks, salt and nails
I'd fill up [Bb] my shotgun with rocks, [F] salt and nails
[Am] [Bb]
[G] [F]
By the banks of the river [Bb] where the [F] willows grow
And the [Dm] wild birds wobble [Bb] a strange sound [F] and so
By the banks [Dm] of the river [Bb] where the [F] waters run cold
Was [Bb] there I first listened to the [F] lies you told
[Dm]
[Bb] [Fm] [F] Now I lay here each night [Bb] all alone [F] and I weep
And nothing [Dm] ain't [Bb] worse than a night without [F] sleep
The letters [Dm] you wrote me [Bb] they're written [F] in shame
But I know that your [Bb] conscience still [F] echoes my name
[Dm] [Bb]
[F] Now if the ladies were blackbirds [Bb] and the [F] ladies were thrushes
I'd lay [Dm] for hours [Bb] in the cold [F] rainy marshes
If the [Dm] ladies were [Bb] squirrels with big [F] bushy tails
I'd fill up [Bb] my shotgun with [F] rocks, salt and nails
I'd fill up [Bb] my shotgun with rocks, [F] salt and nails
[Am] [Bb]
