Johnny Cash - Banks Of The Ohio (correct Key) guitar chord

BANKS OF THE OHIO

Intro: A

A E

I asked my love, to take a walk.

A

Take a walk a little way.

D

And as we walked, and as we talked.

A E A

Of when would be our wedding day.

CHORUS:

A E

And only say, that you'll be mine.

A

In no other's arms entwine.

D

Down beside, where the waters flow.

A E A

Down by the banks of the Ohio.

I asked her if, she'd marry me.

And my bride forever be.

She only turned, her head away.

And had no other words to say.

Chorus

I plunged a knife, into her breast.

And told her she was going to rest.

She cried oh Willie, don't murder me.

I'm not perpared for eternity.

I took her by, her golden curls.

And took her down to the riverside.

There I pushed, her in to drown.

And watched her as she floated down.

Chorus

I started home, between twelve and one.

And cried oh Lord what have I done.

I've killed the only, girl I love.

Because she would not marry me.

Chorus
