Version 2Gadd4/B | x-2-0-0-1-x [Intro] F C Gadd4/B Am F C Gadd4/B Am [Verse 1] F C Out from my window across from the city Gadd4/B Am I have what's considered a good view F C Two blocks from the subway, three from the fountain Gadd4/B Am Where I walk to break in new shoes F C She stands on the sidewalk just waving at taxis Gadd4/B Am Like horses in parades in passing F C I ask where she's headed she tells me, Gadd4/B Am F "Ohio, I've not seen my mother in ages F C Gadd4/B Am F It's been a long time, a real long time. F C Gadd4/B Am Mmmmmmhmmmmmmmm, a real long time." [Instrumental] F C Gadd4/B Am [Verse 2] F C Out from my window "How far is Ohio?" Gadd4/B Am She laughed and pointed out east F C She said, "I grew up there with my dear mother Gadd4/B Am And I haven't seen her since thirteen. F C You see, I was taken while she lay sleeping Gadd4/B Am By my father's hired man F C We moved to the city so far from my family Gadd4/B Am F I haven't been back there since. F C Gadd4/B Am F It's been a long time, a real long time. F C Gadd4/B Am Mmmmmmhmmmmmmmm, a real long time." [Instrumental] F C Gadd4/B Am [Verse 3] F C Out from my window please hear me Ohio Gadd4/B Am Your daughter wants to come home F C She longs to be with you to hug you to kiss you Gadd4/B Am To never leave her alone F C And I've gotten know her to live with to love her Gadd4/B Am It's hard to see her leave F C She belongs to her mother and the state of Ohio Gadd4/B Am F I wish she belonged to me F C Gadd4/B Am See you sometime, see you sometime F C Gadd4/B Am Mmmmmmhmmmmmmmm, see you sometime. [Outro] F C Gadd4/B Am
