Banks of The Ohio Chords

[Intro]
A
 
[Verse 1]
A
I asked my love
A          E
to take a walk
E
To take a walk,
E               A
just a lit+tle walk
A
Down beside
A                 D
where the waters flow
D            A
Down by the banks
E         A
of the Ohio
 
[Verse 2]
A
And only say
A              E
that you'll be mine
E                       A
In no o+thers' arms entwine
A
Down beside
A                D
where the waters flow
D           A
Down by the banks
E         A
of the Ohio
 
[Verse 3]
A
I held a knife
A           E
against his breast
E
As into
E          A
my arms he pressed
A
He cried "my love,
A                D
don't you murder me
D            A
I'm not prepared
E         A
for eternity
 
[Verse 4]
A
And only say
A              E
that you'll be mine
E                       A
In no o+thers' arms entwine
A
Down beside
A                D
where the waters flow
D           A
Down by the banks
E         A
of the Ohio
 
[Verse 5]
A
I wandered home
A                E
tween twelve and one
E
I cried, "My God,
E           A
what have I done?"
A                          D
I've killed the only man I love
D                 A
He would not take me
E       A
for his bride
 
[Verse 6]
A
And only say
A              E
that you'll be mine
E                       A
In no o+thers' arms entwine
A
Down beside
A                D
where the waters flow
D           A
Down by the banks
E         A
of the Ohio
 
[Outro]
D           A
Down by the banks
E         A
of the Ohio
