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