Ohio River Boat Song chords by Bonnie Prince Billy

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
From Smoketown to Oldham County
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
