  • Difficulty: Beginner
Intro:

B  A  E x 8



Verse 1:
B           A      E
I went back to Ohio
B           A      E
But my city was gone
B           A      E
There was no train station
B           A      E
There was no downtown
B           A      E
South Howard had disappeared
B           A      E
All my favorite places
B           A      E
My city had been pulled down
B           A      E
Reduced to parking spaces

Verse 2:
B           A      E
Well
I went back to Ohio
B           A      E
But my family was gone
B           A      E
I stood on the back porch
B           A      E
There was nobody home
B           A      E
I was stunned and amazed
B           A      E
My childhood memories
B           A      E
Slowly swirled past
B           A      E
Like the wind through the trees


Chorus:
B                       E
Ay, oh, way to go
Ohio


Guitar Solo:
B  A  E  x 8

Verse 3:
B           A      E
I went back to Ohio
B           A      E
But my pretty countryside
B           A      E
Had been paved down the middle
B           A      E
By a government that had no pride
B           A      E
The farms of Ohio
B           A      E
Had been replaced by shopping malls
B           A      E
And Muzak filled the air
B           A      E
From Seneca to Cuyahoga Falls


Chorus:
B                            E
Said, ay, oh, way to go
Ohio

Guitar Solo Outro:
B  A  E
