Rock Salt and Nails Chords by Tyler Childers

[Intro]

[Verse]
G                                                      
■ By the banks of the river where the willows hang down
                   Em          G C          G            
And the wild birds they warble ■ with a low moaning sound
            Em         C                 G        
Way down in the hollow ■ where the river runs cold
               F              C                  G       
It was there I first listened ■ to the lies that you told
             G                                
Now I lie on my back and I see your sweet face


[Chorus]
             Em         C      G          
And the past I remember ■ time can't erase
                Em           C                   G       
And the letters you wrote me ■ they were written in shame
                F               C       G             
And I know that your conscience ■ still echoes my name

[Verse]
                  G                                          
Now if the ladies were blackbirds if the ladies were thrushes
                   Em        C               G           
Well I'd lie there for hours ■ in the chilly cold marshes
                 Em             C                G          
And if the woman were squirrels ■ with them high bushy tails


[Chorus]
                 F          C           G             
Well I'd load up my shotgun ■ with rock salt and nails
            F         
I'd load up my shotgun
C G C G
