Columbus Ohio chords by Mark Erelli

Intro:
Abm   F#   E  B  E

Verse:
                Abdim7
Stranded on the outskirts

   A           E
Of Columbus Ohio

           B         Dbm
Some motel next to a strip mall church

         Bbdim7       A
With the neon burning cold

Verse:

     E       Dbm      Abdim7
It's raining soft and steady

        A              E
Like it always does in movies

                 B         Dbm
Now I'm good and drunk and ready

   Bbdim7          A     E
So let the credits roll

Chorus:

A                  B            Dbm                 A
When I was a young man, I never dreamed it wouldn't last

      Dbm                          Gb7            B
All I wanted was tomorrow, now I'm haunted by the past

           A                      Abm      Dbm     E7     A
Don't know where I'm going, all I know is, I ain't coming back

          Dbm        Gb7     B E    B Dbm
I've had enough of Columbus Ohio

Verse:

B        E              Abdim7
If I'd a ticket I would gladly

         A             E
Take the bus up to Eau Claire

                   B     Dbm
I'd hitch south to Cincinnati

     Bbdim7           A
If I knew a soul down there

Verse:

           E     Dbm   Abdim7
There's no currency in Kerouac

   A                   E
At least not since the sixties

                     B   Dbm
Lord, take pity on a vagabond

      Bbdim7              A
Whose sails have all gone slack

Chorus:

A                  B            Dbm                 A
When I was a young man, I never dreamed it wouldn't last

      Dbm                          Gb7            B
All I wanted was tomorrow, now I'm haunted by the past

           A                      Abm      Dbm     E7     A
Don't know where I'm going, all I know is, I ain't coming back

          Dbm        Gb7     B Dbm
I've had enough of Columbus Ohio

                     Gb7     B E
I've had enough of Columbus Ohio
