Boy in Ohio Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][Em][Am][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]Creek was
running [C]by the [G]road
And the Buckeye sun was a-shinin'
[D]I I r[G]ode my bike down
[C]Alum Creek [G]Drive
When [Em]I was a boy in Oh[Am]io
[D]The [G]English teacher [C]he
didn't [G]care
He challenged us to [F]checkers
And [Bb]once in a while we'd
swap [D]a joke[Dm]
When [D]I was a boy in O[Eb]hio[D]
[G]Once I was caught [D]playing
[C]hooky from [G]school
They found me home in [D]the evening
I con[G]fessed I had been
[D]to the [C]movie [G]show
When [Em]I was a boy in Oh[Am]io[D]
[G]We would wait for [C]the summer
[G]to come
For swimmin' and pickin' [F]berries
But [Bb]now a freeway covers the f[Dm]ield
Where [D]I used to be so h[Eb]appy[D]
[G][C][G][F][Bb][Dm][D][Eb][D]
[G]I remember the B[C]urger B[G]oy
Where the girls would shine
like the [D]engines
An[G]d the radio w[C]as always l[G]oud
When [Em]I was a boy in Oh[Am]io[D]
[G]Spanish teacher [C]she tried to [G]help
She was much too [F]pretty
So [Bb]I just stared at the
back of her [D]leg[Dm] s
When [D]I was a boy in O[Eb]hio[D]
It [G]was 3.2 beer at
[D]the[C] honky tonk bar[G]
Where they said the girls were [D]easy
But [G]somehow I never [C]found me [G]one
When [Em]I was a boy in Oh[Am]io[D]
[G]Soon I was [D]grown [G]and I h[C]ad to leav[G]e
And I've been all over [F]the country
But I [Bb]don't believe I've had more [Dm]fun
Than when [D]I was a boy in Ohio

[Outro 1]
