Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][D][Am][D]
[Am][D][Am][D]
[Am][D][Am][D]
[Am][D][Am][D]

[Verse 1]
I went [Am]back to [D]Ohio
But my [Am]city was [D]gone
There was [Am]no train s[D]tation
There was [Am]no d[D]owntown
South [Am]Howard had [D]disappeared
[Am]All my favorite [D]places
My [Am]city had been pulled [D]down
Re[Am]duced to [D]parking spaces
[Am]A, o, way to go Ohio
[D][C][D][C]

[Interlude 1]
[Am][D][Am][D]
[Am][D][Am][D]

[Verse 2]
Well I went [Am]back to [D]Ohio
But my [Am]family was [D]gone
I [Am]stood on the back [D]porch
There was [Am]nobody [D]home
I was [Am]stunned and [D]amazed
My [Am]childhood [D]memories
[Am]Slowly swirled [D]past
Like the [Am]wind through the [D]trees
[Am]A, o, way to go Ohio
[D][C][D][C]

[Solo 1]
[Am][D][Am][D]
[Am][D][Am][D]
[Am][D][Am][D]
[Am][D][Am][D]

[Verse 3]
I went [Am]back to [D]Ohio
But my [Am]pretty [D]countryside
Had been [Am]paved down the [D]middle
By a [Am]government that had no [D]pride
The [Am]farms of [D]Ohio
Had been re[Am]placed by shopping [D]malls
And [Am]Muzak filled the [D]air
From [Am]Seneca to Cuyahoga [D]falls
Said, [Am]A, o, way to go Ohio
[D][C][D][C]

[Outro 1]
[Am][D][Am][D]
[Repeat and fade]
