Rock Salt And Nails Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

C♯ C♯ F♯ C♯

 On the banks of the C♯ river, where the willows hang C♯ down,

 Where the wild birds all A♯m warble with a low moaning C♯ sound,

 Down in the A♯m hollow where the water runs C♯ cold,

 It's there I have F♯ listened to the lies that you C♯ told.

 Now I lie on my C♯ bed and I see your sweet C♯ face.

 The past I reA♯mmember, time cannot eC♯rase.

 The letters you A♯m wrote me were written in C♯ shame,

 And I know that your F♯ conscience still echos my C♯ pain.

 Now the nights are so C♯ long, my sorrow runs C♯ deep.

 Nothing is A♯m worse than a night without C♯ sleep.

 I walk out aA♯mlone, I look at the C♯ sky,

 Too empty to F♯ sing, too lonesome to C♯ cry.

 Now if the ladies were C♯ blackbirds and the ladies were C♯ thrushes,

 I'd lie there for A♯m hours in the chilly cold C♯m marshes.

 If the ladies were A♯m squirrels with them high bushy C♯ tails,

 I'd fill up my F♯ shotgun with rock salt and C♯ nails.
