V1
By the banks of the Eriver, Awhere the willows hang Edown
And the wild birds all C#mwarble Awith a low moaning Esound
Down in the hC#mollow, Awhere the waters run cEold
It was there I first Alistened to the lies that she tEold.
V2
                                           A     Escale run
Now I lay on my bed and I can see her sweet face
The past I reC#mmember, Atime can not eErase
The letter you C#mwrote me, Ait was written in sEhame
And I know that your Aconscience still echoes my Ename
V3
                      E     A                E                          Now the nights 
so long, your sorrows run deep
And nothing is C#mworse, tAhan a night without sEleep
I’ll walk out aC#mlone Aand look at the skEy
To empty to sing, Ato lonesome to cEry
V4
If the ladies were blackEbirds anAd the ladies were ThErushes
I’d lie there for C#mhours, iAn the chilly cold Emarshes
If the ladies were C#msquirrels, Awith a high bushy Etails
I’d fill up my shotAgun with rock salt and Enails

E A E

By the banks of the river, where the willows hang down

C#m A E

And the wild birds all warble with a low moaning sound

C#m A E

Down in the hollow, where the waters run cold

A E

It was there I first listened to the lies that she told.

A E

scale run

Now I lay on my bed and I can see her sweet face

C#m A E

The past I remember, time can not erase

C#m A E

The letter you wrote me, it was written in shame

A E

And I know that your conscience still echoes my name

E A E Now the nights

so long, your sorrows run deep

C#m A E

And nothing is worse, than a night without sleep

C#m A E

I’ll walk out alone and look at the sky

A E

To empty to sing, to lonesome to cry

E A E

If the ladies were blackbirds and the ladies were Thrushes

C#m A E

I’d lie there for hours, in the chilly cold marshes

C#m A E

If the ladies were squirrels, with a high bushy tails

A E

I’d fill up my shotgun with rock salt and nails

E A E C#m A E C#m E A E
