Rock Salt And Nails chords

CAPO: 4th Fret

By the banks of the [D]river [G] [D]
Where the [G]willows hang [D]down [G] [D]
And the wild birds all [Bm]warble_[G]__
With their high, lonesome [D]sound [G] [D]
Down in some [Bm]hollow_[G]__
Where the waters run [D]cold [G] [D]
It was there I first [C]listened [G]
To the lies that you [D]told [G] [D]

If the young men were blackbirds [G] [D]
The [G]young men were [D]thrushes [G] [D]
I would lay by the [Bm]hours_[G]__
In the cold rainy [D]marshes [G] [D]
If the young men were [Bm]squirre[G]ls
With high bushy [D]tails [G] [D]
I'd fill up my [C]shotgun [G]
With rock salt and [D]nails

INSTRUMENTAL: [D] [G] [D] [G] [D] [G] [D] [Bm] [G] [D] [G] [D]
[Bm] [G] [D] [G] [D] [C] [G] [D] [G] [D]

Now I lie in my bed_[G]___[D]_
And I [G]see your sweet [D]face [G] [D]
The past I re[Bm]member_[G]__
Time cannot e[D]rase [G] [D]
The letters you [Bm]wrote me[G]__
Were written in [D]shame [G] [D]
And I know that your [C]conscience [G]
Echoes my [D]name [G] [D]

Lord, I lie here each night [G] [D]
All a[G]lone and I [D]weep [G] [D]
Nothing ain't [Bm]worse [G]
Than a night without [D]sleep [G] [D]
I walk out a[Bm]lone_[G]__
Under the [D]sky [G] [D]
Too empty to [C]sing [G]
Too lonesome to [D]cry [G] [D]

INSTRUMENTAL: [D] [G] [D] [G] [D] [G] [D] [Bm] [G] [D] [G] [D]
[Bm] [G] [D] [G] [D] [C] [G] [D] [G] [D]

If the ladies were blackbirds_[G]___[D]
And the [G]young men were [D]thrushes [G] [D]
I'd lie there for [Bm]hours_[G]__
In the cold rainy [D]marshes [G] [D]
If the ladies were [Bm]squirre[G]ls
With high bushy [D]tails [G] [D]
I'd fill up my [C]shotgun__[G]_
With rock salt and [D]nails [G] [D]
I'd fill up my [C]shotgun__[G]_
With rock salt and [D]nails [G] [D]
