[G] Onx the banks of the river [C] wherex the willow hang d[G]ownx
Where the wild birds all [Em] warblex w[C]ithx a low moaning [G] soundx
Down in the [Em] hollowx [C] wherex the water runs [G] coldx
It was there I first [F] listenedx [C] tox the lies that you [G] toldx

[CHORUS]
Now I lie on my bed [C] andx I see your sweet [G] facex
And the past I [Em] rememberx [C] timex cannot [G] erasex
The letter you [Em] wrotex me [C] itx was written in [G] shamex
And I know that your [F] consciencex [C] stillx echos my [G] namex

[VERSE]
[G] Nowx the nights are so lonely [C] lordx sorrow runs [G] deepx
Nothing is [Em] worsex than [C] axx night without [G] sleepx
I walk out [Em] alonex [C] andx look at the [G] xxx sky
Too empty to [F] singx [C] toox lonesome to c[G]ryx
Now if the ladies were blackbirds [C] ifx the ladies were t[G]hrushesx

[CHORUS]
I''d lie there for [Em] xxxx hours [C] xxx in the chilly cold [G] xxx marshes
If the ladies were s[Em]quirrelsx [C] withx them high bushy [G] tailsx
I''d fill up my [F] shotgunx [C] withx rock salt and [G] xxx nails
I''d fill up my [F] shotgunx [C] withx rock salt and [G] xxx nails
