Chords

                    D      G  D 
By the banks of the river 

          G            D     G  D
Where the willows hang down

                       Bm     G 
And the wild birds all warble___

                          D      G  D
With their high, lonesome sound

             Bm     G 
Down in some hollow___

                     D     G  D
Where the waters run cold

                     C         G 
It was there I first listened 

                     D     G  D
To the lies that you told

                                  G  D 
If the young men were blackbirds 

    G              D         G  D
The young men were thrushes

                   Bm    G 
I would lay by the hours___

                  D        G  D
In the cold rainy marshes

                      Bm     G 
If the young men were squirrels 

                D     G  D
With high bushy tails

               C         G 
I'd fill up my shotgun 

                   D    
With rock salt and nails
INSTRUMENTAL: D G D G D G D Bm G D G D Bm G D G D C G D G D
                    G  D 
Now I lie in my bed_____

      G              D     G  D
And I see your sweet face

             Bm     G 
The past I remember___

             D     G  D
Time cannot erase

                Bm      G 
The letters you wrote me__

                D      G  D
Were written in shame

                     C          G 
And I know that your conscience 

          D     G  D
Echoes my name

                             G  D 
Lord, I lie here each night 

     G          D     G  D
All alone and I weep

              Bm    G 
Nothing ain't worse 

                     D     G  D
Than a night without sleep

            Bm   G 
I walk out alone___

          D   G  D
Under the sky

             C      G 
Too empty to sing 

                D     G  D
Too lonesome to cry
INSTRUMENTAL: D G D G D G D Bm G D G D Bm G D G D C G D G D
                              G  D 
If the ladies were blackbirds____

        G              D         G  D
And the young men were thrushes

                  Bm    G 
I'd lie there for hours___

                  D        G  D
In the cold rainy marshes

                   Bm     G 
If the ladies were squirrels 

                D      G  D
With high bushy tails

               C        G 
I'd fill up my shotgun___

                   D     G  D
With rock salt and nails

               C        G 
I'd fill up my shotgun___

                   D     G  D
With rock salt and nails
