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