Bonnie Prince Billy – Ohio River Boat Song chords

Intro - A B A B

EWhen it's time from work to go
A                EAnd in my boat I row
A                ECross the muddy Ohio
BWhen the evening light is falling
EAnd I looked towards Floyd's Knobs
A                      EWhere the afterglories glow
A                  EAnd I dream on two bright eyes
B                  EWith a merry mouth below

A                  EShe's my beauteous Catarina
A                  EShe's my joy and sorrow too
A                  EThough I know she is untrue
BOh but I cannot live without her
EFor my heart's a boat in tow
A                          EAnd I would give the world to know
A                  EIf she means to let me go
B                  EAs I sing the whole day through

Electric solo - A B A B

ECatarina, your lovely hair
A                EHas more beauty, I declare
A                EThan all the tresses there
BFrom Smoketown to Oldham County
EBe they black, red, gold or brown
A                ELet them hang to lenghts below
A                EThey mean not as much to me
B                EAs a melting flake of snow

A                EAnd her dance is like the gleam
A                EOf the sunlight on the stream
A                EAnd the screeching bluejays seem
BTo form her name when screaming
EBut my heart is full of woe
A                EFor last night she made me go
A                EAnd the tears begin to flow
B                EAs I sing the whole day through

Repeat last verse (chorus).
