Rock Salt And Nails

• G

G                          C                      G 
On the banks of the river  where the willows hang down 
                       Em     C                   G 
And the wild birds all warble with a low mourning sound 
            Em      C                    G 
Down in the hollow  where the water runs cold 
                     C                              G 
It was there I first listened  to the lies that you told 

                     C                    G 
Now I lie on my bed  and I see your sweet face 
           Em       C           G 
The past I remember time cannot erase 
             Em        C                 G 
A letter you wrote me  it was written in shame 
                     C                          G 
And I know that your conscience still echoes my name 

                            C                G 
Now the nights are so long  Lord sorrow runs deep 
               Em           C             G 
And nothing is worse than a night without sleep 
           Em     C               G 
I walk out alone  and look at the sky  
             C                    G 
Too empty to say  too lonesome to cry 

                               C                   G 
If the ladies were blackbirds  and the ladies were fishes 
                  Em     C                  G 
I'd lie there for hours  in the chilly cold marshes 
                   Em         C                 G 
If the ladies were squirrels  with a high bushy tail 
               C                             G 
I'd fill up my shotgun  with a rock salt and nails
