Banks Of The Ohio Teclado

	   

           A              E 
I asked my love to take a walk 
          E7                  A 
To take a walk, just a little walk 
       A7                    D 
Down beside where the waters flow 
            A    E              A 
Down by the banks of the old Ohio 

         A                  E      
And only say that you'll be mine 
      E7            A 
In no others arms entwine 
       A7                    D 
Down beside where the waters flow 
            A    E              A 
Down by the banks of the old Ohio 

         A                 E 
I held a knife against her breast 
     E7             A 
As into my arms she pressed 
               A7                   D 
She cried, "Oh Willie, don't murder me 
           A    E          A 
I'm not prepared for eternity" 

         A                  E 
And only say that you'll be mine 
      E7            A 
In no others arms entwine 
       A7                    D 
Down beside where the waters flow 
            A    E              A 
Down by the banks of the old Ohio 

          A                       E 
I started home between twelve and one 
             E7               A 
I cried, "My God, what have I done? 
           A7           D 
Killed the only woman I loved 
            A    E          A 
Because she would not be my bride" 

         A                  E 
And only say that you'll be mine 
      E7            A 
In no others arms entwine 
       A7                    D 
Down beside where the waters flow 
            A    E              A 
Down by the banks of the old Ohio
