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