The Weight - Ohio

Bm...G...D...A


Bm
Ohio

..................G
well I won't write no letters

...........D
I won't send no cards

......A
anymore

well I've been waiting
for your sweetest daughter
but she's never coming
coming home

..............G....................D
and I got lost outside of Cleveland

..............G.....................A
when the storm is coming down

........G...............D
just a shout at Indiana

................Bm................A
supposed to be Chicago bound

...............G
well all this wandering

..............Bm........................A
has got me feeling tired and restless

...............G
I've been wondering

...Bm..........A
if anyone will miss us

..............G............................D
there's no sweethearts waiting for me

..........A
back at home

..........................G
and there's no one sitting

.........Bm.................A
no one's waiting by a phone

Ohio
well I won't write no letters
I won't send no cards
anymore
well I've been waiting
for your sweetest daughter
but she's never coming
coming home


in the alleys filled with dreams
sleepy charlatans who roll
up and down these streets all night
spinning the thread back into gold

don't come far
well you'll find me back in Athens
but I got nothing
left to dream or chase after
all my friends are pulling onto
another town
and I'm spinning wheels
but I'm feeling too broke down

and all my life
well I've waited for
a girl like you
to come around
but I left my heart
down in Ohio highway
and I can't be anywhere
till it's found

Ohio
well I won't write no letters
I won't send no cards
anymore
well I've been waiting
for your sweetest daughter
but she's never coming
coming home
