Damien Jurado – Ohio (Guitar)

Gadd4/B | x-2-0-0-1-x

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
"Ohio, I've not seen my mother in ages

F                  C   Gadd4/B            Am
  It's been a long time,      a real long time.

F       C        Gadd4/B            Am
  Mmmmmmhmmmmmmmm,      a real long time."

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
I haven't been back there since.

F                  C   Gadd4/B            Am
  It's been a long time,      a real long time.

F       C        Gadd4/B            Am
  Mmmmmmhmmmmmmmm,      a real long time."

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 to 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
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.
