Banks Of The Ohio Chords & Lyrics - Olivia Newton-john

Tuning: Standard

[A]I asked my love

[A]to take a w[E]alk

[E]To take a walk,

[E]just a lit+tle [A]walk

[A]Down beside

[A]where the waters f[D]low

[D]Down by the b[A]anks

[E]of the Ohi[A]o

And only say
that you'll be mine
In no o+thers' arms entwine
Down beside
where the waters flow
Down by the banks
of the Ohio

I held a knife
against his breast
As into
my arms he pressed
He cried "my love,
don't you murder me
I'm not prepared
for eternity

And only say
that you'll be mine
In no o+thers' arms entwine
Down beside
where the waters flow
Down by the banks
of the Ohio

I wandered home
tween twelve and one
I cried, "My God,
what have I done'"
I've killed the only man I love
He would not take me
for his bride

And only say
that you'll be mine
In no o+thers' arms entwine
Down beside
where the waters flow
Down by the banks
of the Ohio

Down by the banks
of the Ohio
