The Banks Of The Ohio chords

Capo 4th

[VERSE]
Come my l[A]ove lets take a [E]walk just a little while a[A]way
While we walk along we t[D]alk talk a[A]bout o[E]ur wedding d[A]ay,
Only s[A]ay that you’ll be m[E]ine in our home we’ll happy [A]be,
Down beside where waters fl[D]ow down on the [A]banks[E] of the O[A]hio,

[VERSE]
I drew my k[A]nife across her th[E]roat and to by breast she gently pr[A]essed
Oh please oh please don’t murder [D]me for I’m n[A]ot pre[E]pare to die you s[A]ee
I’ve taken her d[A]own by the little white h[E]and a little down in a bed of sa[A]nd
There I threw her into d[D]rown and was t[A]urned [E]as she flowted[A] down,

[VERSE]
Returning h[A]ome between twelve and o[E]ne thinkin’ lord what a deed I've d[A]one
I murdered the girl I loved you s[D]ee, because s[A]he wo[E]uld not marry [A]me,
Only s[A]ay that you’ll be m[E]ine in our home we’ll happy [A]be,
Down beside where waters fl[D]ow down on the [A]banks[E] of the O[A]hio,

[INSTRUMENTAL]

[VERSE]
The next da[A]y as I returned in h[E]ome I met the sheriff standing in the do[A]or
Said "my man come with me and [D]go down to the banks of the Oh[A]io”,
Only s[A]ay that you’ll be m[E]ine in our home we’ll happy [A]be,
Down beside where waters fl[D]ow down on the [A]banks[E] of the O[A]hio,
Down on the [A]banks[E] of the O[A]hio, down on the [A]banks[E] of the O[A]hioooo, yeah.
