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