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