Rocksalt And Nails Chords & Lyrics - Druhá Tráva

By the banks of the [E]river, [A]where the willows hang [E]down
And the wild birds all [C#m]warble [A]with a low moaning [E]sound
Down in the h[C#m]ollow, [A]where the waters run c[E]old
It was there I first [A]listened to the lies that she t[E]old.

V2
[A] [E] scale run
Now I lay on my bed and I can see her sweet face
The past I re[C#m]member, [A]time can not e[E]rase
The letter you [C#m]wrote me, [A]it was written in s[E]hame
And I know that your [A]conscience still echoes my [E]name

V3
E [A] [E] Now the nights
so long, your sorrows run deep
And nothing is [C#m]worse, t[A]han a night without s[E]leep
I'll walk out a[C#m]lone [A]and look at the sk[E]y
To empty to sing, [A]to lonesome to c[E]ry

V4
If the ladies were black[E]birds an[A]d the ladies were Th[E]rushes
I'd lie there for [C#m]hours, i[A]n the chilly cold [E]marshes
If the ladies were [C#m]squirrels, [A]with a high bushy [E]tails
I'd fill up my shot[A]gun with rock salt and [E]nails
[E] [A] [E] [C#m] [A] [E] [C#m] [E] [A] [E]
