On The Banks chords by Railroad Earth

Standard Tuning
Capo 3
Play slowly and with flow

I don't know if I have everything spot on, but I played along to the track without missing a note.
I hope you all enjoy this song as much as I do.
It is a very beautiful song that everyone should have the pleasure of hearing and playing to.

To add some flare to your playing, let off the E string and
hammer the A string while you are strumming a G.


In the song, when you see a chord that is placed off of the lyric line like this.

C                     G    F     C
The most perfect I've ever seen

On the second to last chord, you strum down, up, down, down, and then strum down one more
time on the last chord.

Intro: C G F G


Verse 1
 C                  G          F         C
It's a long winding way to the Mad River valley
C                      F         G
Through the forest and mountains green
C              G             F             C
To the cabin we share by the wide, running river
C                     G    F     C
The most perfect I've ever seen



Chorus
C            G           F            C
I'll live my life on the banks of the water
C          Am7     G
Singing my song to you
C                  G          F            C
And all through my days, I'll remember you always
C            G       F     C
I never knew love so true

Verse 2
C                  G                F               C
It's a tangled old path through the thick briers and brambles
C                 F          G
Down to where the wild roses bloom
C                  G             F           C
They'll open their hearts in the heat of the summer
C                      G      F      C
And freeze beneath the silver moon



Chorus

C            G           F            C
I'll live my life on the banks of the water
C          Am7     G
Singing my song to you
C                  G          F            C
And all through my days, I'll remember you always

I never knew love so true

Verse 3
C               G            F          C
It's a tumbling run down the Bear Creek canyon
C                     F        G
Through the rocks and mountain sage
C                G             F      C
It's a trickling stream in the frozen winter
C                       G             F      C
Running strong when the spring waters break

I'll live my life on the banks of the water
C          Am7     G
Singing my song to you
C                  G          F            C
And all through my days, I'll remember you always
C            G       F     C
I never knew love so true
