Banks of the Ohio Olivia Newton John
Transcribed by: www.myfirstguitarlessons.co.uk
[Verse 1]
C G G7 C
I asked my love to take a walk To take a walk, just a little walk
C7 F C G C
Down beside where the waters flow Down by the banks of the Ohio
[Chorus]
C G G7 C
And only say that you'll be mine In no others' arms entwine
C7 F C G C
Down beside where the waters flow Down by the banks of the Ohio
[Verse 2]
C G G7 C
I held a knife against his breast As into my arms he pressed
C7 F C G C
He cried "my love, don't you murder me I'm not prepared for eternity
[Chorus]
C G G7 C
And only say that you'll be mine In no others' arms entwine
C7 F C G C
Down beside where the waters flow Down by the banks of the Ohio
[Verse 3]
C G G7 C
I wandered home between twelve and one I cried, "My God, what have I done?"
C7 F C G C
I've killed the only man I love He would not take me for his bride
[Chorus]
C G G7 C C7
And only say that you'll be mine In no others' arms entwine Down beside
F C G C F C G C
where the waters flow Down by the banks of the Ohio Down by the banks of the Ohio
