Ohio Damien Jurado
Capo 4th fret
[F]Out from my window across from the c[C]ity
C/B* Am
I have what's considered a good view
[F]Two blocks from the subway, three from the foun[C]tain
[C/B]Where I walk to break in new shoe[Am]s
[F]She stands on the sidewalk just waving at t[C]axis
[C/B]Like horses in parades in passi[Am]ng
[F]I ask where she's headed she tells [C]me,
[C/B]"Ohio, I've not seen my mother in ag[Am]es
[F]It's been a long t[C]ime, a [C/B]real long tim[Am]e."
Out from my window "How far is Ohio?"
She laughed and pointed out east
She said, "I grew up there with my dear mother
And I haven't seen her since thirteen.
You see, I was taken while she lay sleeping
By my father's hired man
We moved to city so far from my family
I haven't been back there since.
It's been a long time, a real long time."
Out from my window please hear me Ohio
Your daughter wants to come home
She longs to be with you to hug you to kiss you
To never leave her alone
And I've gotten know her to live with to love her
It's hard to see her leave
She belongs to her mother and the state of Ohio
I wish she belonged to me
See you sometime, see you sometime
*In every C/B you can play G if you want to.
