F C
Out from my window across from the city
G Am
I have what's considered a good view
F C
Two blocks from the subway, three from the fountain
G Am
Where I walk to break in new shoes
F C
She stands on the sidewalk just waving at taxis
G Am
Like horses in parades in fancies
F C
I ask where she's headed she tells me,
G Am
Ohio, I've not seen my mother in ages
F C G Am
It's been a long time, a real long time
F C G Am
It's been a long time, a real long time
F C
Out from my window How far is Ohio?
G Am
She laughed and pointed out east
F C
She said I grew up there with my dear mother
G Am
And I haven't seen her since thirteen
F C
You see, I was taken while she lay sleeping
G Am
By my father's hired men
F C
We moved to city so far from my family
G Am
I haven't been back there since
F C G Am
It's been a long time, a real long time
F C G Am
It's been a long time, a real long time
F C
Out from my window please hear me Ohio
G Am
Your daughter wants to come home
F C
She longs to be with you to hug you to kiss you
G Am
To never leave her alone
F C
And I've gotten know her to live with to love her
G Am
It's hard to see her leave
F C
She belongs to her mother and the state of Ohio
G Am
I wish she belonged to me
F C G Am
It's been a long time, a real long time
F C G Am
See you sometime, see you sometime (8X)
