Ohio River Boat Song chords by Bonnie Prince Billy

Chords with lyrics

Intro - A augmentedA BB A augmentedA BB

E MajorE
When it's time from work to go
A augmentedA        E MajorE
And in my boat I row
A augmentedA        E MajorE
Cross the muddy Ohio
BB
When the evening light is falling
E MajorE
And I looked towards Floyd's Knobs
A augmentedA           E MajorE
Where the afterglories glow
A augmentedA         E MajorE
And I dream on two bright eyes
BB         E MajorE
With a merry mouth below

A augmentedA         E MajorE
She's my beauteous Catarina
A augmentedA         E MajorE
She's my joy and sorrow too
A augmentedA         E MajorE
Though I know she is untrue
BB
Oh but I cannot live without her
E MajorE
For my heart's a boat in tow
A augmentedA             E MajorE
And I would give the world to know
A augmentedA         E MajorE
If she means to let me go
BB         E MajorE
As I sing the whole day through

Electric solo - A augmentedA BB A augmentedA BB

E MajorE
Catarina, your lovely hair
A augmentedA        E MajorE
Has more beauty, I declare
A augmentedA        E MajorE
Than all the tresses there
BB
From Smoketown to Oldham County
E MajorE
Be they black, red, gold or brown
A augmentedA        E MajorE
Let them hang to lenghts below
A augmentedA        E MajorE
They mean not as much to me
BB        E MajorE
As a melting flake of snow

A augmentedA        E MajorE
And her dance is like the gleam
A augmentedA        E MajorE
Of the sunlight on the stream
A augmentedA        E MajorE
And the screeching bluejays seem
BB
To form her name when screaming
E MajorE
But my heart is full of woe
A augmentedA        E MajorE
For last night she made me go
A augmentedA        E MajorE
And the tears begin to flow
BB        E MajorE
As I sing the whole day through
