Bonnie Prince Billy - Ohio River Boat Song Chords

Intro - A B A B

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

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

Electric solo - A B A B

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

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

Repeat last verse (chorus).
