Rock, Salt And Nails Chords by Waylon Jennings

[C] _ [G] _ [F] _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ [F]
By the banks of the river where the willows [Dm] grow cold _ _
While [Bb] birds warble a strange [F] sounding song
By the banks [Bb] of the river where the [F] water's run cold _
Was there I [Bb] first listened _ to the lies that [F] she told _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [F] _ _ _
He lays there each _ night all alone and [Dm] he weeps _ _
Nothing [Bb] ain't _ worse than a night [F] thou _ sleep's
The letters [Bb] she wrote _ him it were written [F] in vain _
But I know that [Bb] her conscience _ still echoes [F] my name _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [F] _ _ _
If the ladies were black birds and the ladies [Dm] were thrushes _
I'd lay there [Bb] for hours in the cold [F] rainy marshes _
If the ladies [Bb] were squirrels with a big [F] bushy tail _ _
I'd fill up [Bb] my shotgun with a rock salt [F] and nail _
We'd fill up [Bb] our shotgun _ with a rock salt [F] and nail _ _ _
