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