Rock Salt And Nails Chords by Joan Baez

[N] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ By the banks of the _ river, _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ where the _ willows [C] hang _ _ down, _ _
_ _ and the wild birds [Am] all warble, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ down _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ in [Am] some hollow,
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ it was there I first [Bb] listened _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ to the lies that [C] you _ told. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Now lie on my _ bed _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ and let's see your [C] sweet _ _ _ _ _ _ face. _
The past I [Am] remember, _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
letters you [Am] wrote me, _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ worried me, _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ and I know that your [Bb] _ _ conscience _ _ _ _
[F] _ still echoes my [C] _
_ _ _ _ name. _ _
_ _ _ Oh, _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ the nights are so _ _ _ _ _ _ long, [F] _ Lord, _ sorrow runs [C] _ _ _ _ _
deep,
_ _ and nothing is [Am] worse _ _ _ _ _ _ _ than a night. _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I walk out [Am] _ _
alone, _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ too _ lonesome to [Bb] _ _ sing, _ _ _ [F] _ _ too empty to [C] _ _ _ cry.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ If the ladies was _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] blackbirds _ and the ladies was [C] _ _ thrushes, _ _ _ _
_ I'd lay there for [Am]
hours _ _ _ _ _ _ _ in the chilly, _ cold _ _
[C] marshes.
_ _ _ _ If the ladies was [Am] _ squirrels _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ she'd take,
_ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I'd fill up my [Bb] _ shotgun _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ with rock salt and _ _ legs. _ _ _
