[Intro]
G Cadd9
[Verse 1]
G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
By the banks of the river, where the willows hang down
G/F# Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
And wild birds they warble, with a low moaning sound
G/F# Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Way down in the hollow, where the river runs cold
G/F# F C/G G C/G
It was there I first listened, to the lies that you told
[Verse 2]
G C/G G C/G G C/G G
Now I lie on my back, and I see your sweet face
G/F# Em C G C/G G
The past I remember, time cant erase
G/F# Em C G C/G G
And the letters you wrote me, they were written in shame
F C/G G C/G
And I know that your conscience, still echoes my name
G F C/G G C/G
[Verse 3]
G C/G G C/G G C/G G C/G G
Now if the ladies were blackbirds, if the ladies were thrushes
G/F# Em C G C/G G
Id lie there for hours, in the chilly cold marshes
G/F# Em C G C/G G
And if the women were squirrels, with them high bushy tails
F C/G G C/G G
Id fill up my shotgun, with rock salt and nails
F F C/G G C/G G
Id fill up my shotgun
