[Am][F][G][D][Am][F]
[G][D][Am][F][G][D][Am][F]
[G][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Hello [Am]Ohio,
[F]the[G] back roads
[D]I know Ohi[Am]o, lik[F]e the back o[G]f my hand
[D]Alone Ohi[Am]o,
[F]where the riv[G]er ben[D]ds
And it's [Am]strange [F]to see [G]your story en[D]d

[Verse 2]
[D]
In my [Am]life [F]I've seen a
[G]thousand [D]dreams
Through the [Am]threshers [F]all torn to [G]pieces[D]
And [Am]the land lay [F]bare someone
turned [G]a profit t[D]here
And a [Am]good son lost his [F]life [G]in a strip pit
[D]

[Verse 3]
Hello [Am]Ohio, [F]the[G] back roads
[D]I know Ohi[Am]o, lik[F]e the back o[G]f my hand
[D]Alone Ohi[Am]o, whe[F]re the river [G]bends[D]
And [Am]it's strange [F]to see [G]your story end
[D]

[Verse 4]
When the [Am]sun went [F]down
we [G]would all leave [D]town
[Am]And light our [F]fires in the Egypt Botto[G]m[D]
And [Am]the reservoir [F]was just
as good [G]for Joni
'Cause [D]we knew we would [Am]dream
out [F]loud in the [G]night air
[D]

[Verse 5]
[Am]Holly said, "Don[F]'t go inside the[G]
children's [G#dim]home"
[Am]Mary said,
[F]"Don't leave your man [G]alone"[G#dim]
[Am]Valerie was sing[F]in' to the radio[G], Ohio
[D]

[Verse 6]
[D]It [Am]was[F][G][D][Am][F][G]
[D]
[Am]sum mertime [F]in '83
We were [G]burnin' out at the rubber [D]tree
Yeah, I'm [Am]wonderin'
what in the [F]world
Would make [G]all this [D]worthwhile
And [Am]if I knew [F]then [G]I was o[D]lder then
[Am]Would I see regr[F]et to the last[G] mile
[D]

[Verse 7]
Hello [Am]Ohio, [F]the[G] back roads
[D]I kno[Am]w Ohi[F]o, like the bac[G]k of my hand
[D]Alone Ohi[Am]o,
[F]where [G]the river ben[D]ds
And it's [Am]strange [F]to see
[G]your story en[D]d
How I [Am]hate to see

[Verse 8]
[F]you[G]r story end[D]
It's so sad [Am]to s[F]ee your st[G]ory end
[D]
