Chords for Steve Young - Rock Salt & Nails

[N] _ _ _ _ _ This is a song written by Utah Phillips who did not perform [C#m] the song because he said he did not do love songs
But this is a love song is the [A] world's most bitter one _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
by the banks _ of the river _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
Where the waters run [E] cold?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ the
_ wild birds [C#m]
wobble _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ their strange sound and [E] soul _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ by the banks of the [C#m] river
Where _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ the willows grow
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ It was there I first [A] listened _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ to the _ _ lies you [E] told _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Now I lay here each night _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] all alone
And I _ [E] weep _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and nothing _ ain't [C#m] worse _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ Than a night without [E] sleep _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Hey the letters you wrote [C#m] me
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
They were written in [E] shame
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ But I know that your [A] conscience _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ still echoes my [E] name _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Now if the ladies _ were blackbirds _ and _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
the ladies
[E] brushes _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I'd lay there for
[C#m] _ _ _ _ _ Hours
_ _ [A] _
_ _ In the cold rainy [E] marshes _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ if the ladies [C#m] were squirrels _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ With _ big
bougie [E] _ tails I
_ _ _ _ _ _ Would fill up my [A] shotgun _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
with the rocks all and [E] name _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I'd fill up _ [C#m] my shotgun
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ with the rocks all and [E] name _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
