[Verse]
E7             A    E
I went back to Ohio ■
                A    E
But my city was gone ■
B            A     E      
There was no train station
B7           A        E
There was no downtown ■
B                A           E
South Howard had disappeared ■
B        A        E     
■ All my favorite places


[Chorus]
            A           E   
My city had been pulled down
           A E             
Reduced to ■ parking spaces
                B7  
Ay oh way to go Ohio

[Verse]
                    A    E7
Well I went back to Ohio ■ 
E                   A    E
■ But my family was gone ■
               A    E7   
I stood on the back porch
                 A    B7 E7
There was nobody home ■  ■ 
                  A      E
I was stunned and amazed ■
   A         E       
My childhood memories
       A       B7   E
Slowly swirled past ■
                      A   E    
Like the wind through the trees
A  B7               
Ay oh way to go Ohio

[Verse]
B7                  E
I went back to Ohio ■
B             A           E
But my pretty countryside ■
                        A      E
Had been paved down the middle ■
B    A                   E       
By a government that had no pride
             A    E7
The farms of Ohio ■ 
                     A        E    
Had been replaced by shopping malls
B         A          E  
And Muzak filled the air
            B           E    
From Seneca to Cuyahoga Falls
     Gbm7  B7            
Said ay oh way to go Ohio
