Ohio chords by CocoRosie

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)
