[E]
[A]
[E]
On the banks of the river, where [A] the long [E] and hazy sand.
And the wild birds [C#m] all wobble [A] with the low morning [E] sand.
And down [B] in [C#] the hollow, [C#m]
[A] where the water [E] runs cold.
It was there [A] I first listened to the lies [E] that you told.
As I lie on my bed, I can see your sweet face.
And the past I [C#m] remember, [A] time cannot
[E] erase.
And the letter [C#m] you wrote me, [A] it was written [E] in shame.
And I know that [A] your conscience still echoes [E] my name.
Where
[A]
[E]
the nights were so long, Lord sorrow runs deep.
And nothing
[C#m] is worse than a [A] night [E] without sleep.
And I walk [C#] out alone, [C#m]
[A] and I look [E] at the sky.
Too empty [A] to see, too [E] lonesome to cry.
And if the ladies were blackbirds, [A] and the ladies [E] were thrushes.
Well I'd bother for [C#m] an hour [A] in the chilly [E] cold marshes.
And if the ladies were [C#m] spurs, [E]
[C#m] with a [A] howl [E] as she tells.
I'd fill [A] up my shotgun, with [A#m] rocks, [Am] salt and [E] nails.
