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