By the banks of the river, where the willows hang down
G/F# Em7 C9 G C9 G
And wild birds they warble, with a low moaning sound
G/F# Em7 C9 G C9 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
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 can&rsquo t 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 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
I&rsquo d 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
I&rsquo d fill up my shotgun, with rock salt and nails
F C/G G C/G G
I&rsquo d fill up my shotgun
