[Verse 1]
---------------------
       Bm       A  E
I went back to Ohio
       Bm       A   E
But my city was gone
          Bm      A       E
There was no train station
          Bm     A   E
There was no downtown
      Bm         A
South Howard Had disappeared
E
   Bm   A              E
All  my favorite places
   Bm       A
My city had been Pulled down
E
  Bm      A       E
Reduced to parking spaces

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
Bm  A/B Bm     A/B  Bm A/B Bm E
Ay, oh, way to go, Ohio

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



[Solo 1]

Bm | A | E | Bm | A | E | Bm | A | E | Bm | A | E 
Bm | A | E | Bm | A | E | Bm | A | E | Bm | A | E 

[Verse 3]
---------------------
       Bm       A  E
I went back to Ohio
       Bm            A   E
But my pretty countryside
         Bm             A     E
Had been paved down the middle
     Bm        A            E
By a government that had no pride
    Bm        A  E
The farms of Ohio
                 Bm   A             E
Had been replaced  by shopping malls
    Bm   A              E
And Muzak filled the air
     Bm    A            E
From Seneca to Cuyahoga Falls

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
      Bm  A/B Bm     A/B  Bm A/B Bm E
Said, ay, oh, way to go, Ohio  

[Solo 2 (Outro)]
---------------------
Bm | A | E | Bm | A | E | Bm | A | E | Bm | A | E 
Bm | A | E | Bm | A | E | Bm | A | E | Bm | A | E 
Bm | A | E | Bm | A | E 

[Solo 3 (Fade Out)]

Bm | A | E | Bm | A | E | Bm | A | E | Bm | A | E 
Bm | A | E | Bm | A | E | Bm | A | E | Bm | A | E
