[Intro]
F C Gadd4/B Am
F C Gadd4/B Am
[Verse 1]
F C
Out from my window across from the city
Gadd4/B Am
I have what's considered a good view
F C
Two blocks from the subway, three from the fountain
Gadd4/B Am
Where I walk to break in new shoes
F C
She stands on the sidewalk just waving at taxis
Gadd4/B Am
Like horses in parades in passing
F C
I ask where she's headed she tells me,
Gadd4/B Am F
"Ohio, I've not seen my mother in ages
F C Gadd4/B Am F
It's been a long time, a real long time.
F C Gadd4/B Am
Mmmmmmhmmmmmmmm, a real long time."
[Instrumental]
F C Gadd4/B Am
[Verse 2]
F C
Out from my window "How far is Ohio?"
Gadd4/B Am
She laughed and pointed out east
F C
She said, "I grew up there with my dear mother
Gadd4/B Am
And I haven't seen her since thirteen.
F C
You see, I was taken while she lay sleeping
Gadd4/B Am
By my father's hired man
F C
We moved to the city so far from my family
Gadd4/B Am F
I haven't been back there since.
F C Gadd4/B Am F
It's been a long time, a real long time.
F C Gadd4/B Am
Mmmmmmhmmmmmmmm, a real long time."
[Instrumental]
F C Gadd4/B Am
[Verse 3]
F C
Out from my window please hear me Ohio
Gadd4/B Am
Your daughter wants to come home
F C
She longs to be with you to hug you to kiss you
Gadd4/B Am
To never leave her alone
F C
And I've gotten know her to live with to love her
Gadd4/B Am
It's hard to see her leave
F C
She belongs to her mother and the state of Ohio
Gadd4/B Am F
I wish she belonged to me
F C Gadd4/B Am
See you sometime, see you sometime
F C Gadd4/B Am
Mmmmmmhmmmmmmmm, see you sometime.
[Outro]
