Rock, Salt and Nails Chords by Bob Dylan The Band

[Start]

[Verse]
C                                                      
■ On the banks of the river where the willows hang down
                         Am                        C    
Where the wild birds all warble with a low moaning sound
            Am                          C   
Down in the hollow where the water runs cold


[Chorus]
                  F                             C   
It's there I have listened to the lies that you told


[Verse]
      C                                      
Now I lie on my bed and I see your sweet face
           Am       Am7      C           
The past I remember ■   time cannot erase
                Am                       C    
The letters you wrote me were written in shame
                     F                         C   
And I know that your conscience still echos my pain
                              Dm          C   
Now the nights are so long my sorrow runs deep
           Am                         C    
Nothing is worse than a night without sleep
           Am                  C  
I walk out alone I look at the sky


[Chorus]
             F        C              
Too empty to sing too lonesome to cry
           C                                                  
Now if the ladies were blackbirds and the ladies were thrushes


[Verse]
                  Am                       C      
I'd lie there for hours in the chilly cold marshes
                   Am                             C    
If the ladies were squirrels with them high bushy tails


[Chorus]
               F                          C    
I'd fill up my shotgun with rock salt and nails
