Chords for Joan Baez - Banks Of The Ohio - 12/31/1981 - Oakland Auditorium (Official)

_ _ _ I ask my love [G] to take a walk, to take a walk, just a little [C] walk
down beside _ [F] where the waters flow, _ [C] down by the [G] banks [C] of the Ohio.
_ Don't be sad [G] that you'll be mine, in the war that [C] comes and flies
down beside where the [F] waters flow, down [C] by the [G] banks of the [C] Ohio.

held her neck against [G] her breast, as into _ my [C] arms she pressed.
She cried, oh Willie, don't murder [F] me.
I'm not [C] prepared _ [G] for [C] eternity, and only say, and only say
[G] that you'll be mine in the war that comes [C] and flies
down beside where the [F] waters flow, _ down by [C] the [G] banks of the [C] Ohio.

_ _ I stood alone between twelve [G] and one, and I cried my [Dm] gun.
Oh, and what have [G] I [C] done?
I killed the _ only woman [F] I loved.
Because [C] she would [G] not be [C] my bride, and only say that [G] you'll be mine
in the war _ that comes [C] and flies _ down beside _ where the [F] waters flow,
down [C] by the _ [G] banks [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] of [C] the Ohio. _ _ _ _ _ _
