[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A
I asked my love
A E
to take a walk
E E7
To take a walk,
E7 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 E7 A
In no o+thers' arms entwine
A A7
Down beside
A7 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 E7
As into
E7 A
my arms he pressed
A A7
He cried "my love,
A7 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 E7 A
In no o+thers' arms entwine
A A7
Down beside
A7 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 E7
I cried, "My God,
E7 A
what have I done?"
A A7 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 E7 A
In no o+thers' arms entwine
A A7
Down beside
A7 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
