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