Columbus Ohio

Abm   F#   E  B  E

[Verse]
                Abdim7
Stranded on the outskirts
   A           E
Of Columbus Ohio
           B         Dbm
Some motel next to a strip mall 
church
         Bbdim7       A
With the neon burning cold

[Verse]
     E       Dbm      Abdim7
It's raining soft and steady
        A              E
Like it always does in movies
                 B         Dbm
Now I'm good and drunk and ready
   Bbdim7          A     E
So let the credits roll

[Chorus]
A                  B            
When I was a young man, I never 
Dbm                 A
dreamed it wouldn't last
      Dbm                          
All I wanted was tomorrow, now I'm 
Gb7            B
haunted by the past
           A                      
Don't know where I'm going, all I 
Abm      Dbm     E7     A
know is, I ain't coming back
          Dbm        Gb7     B E
I've had enough of Columbus Ohio
    B Dbm


[Verse]
B        E              Abdim7
If I'd a ticket I would gladly
         A             E
Take the bus up to Eau Claire
                   B     Dbm
I'd hitch south to Cincinnati
     Bbdim7           A
If I knew a soul down there

[Verse]
           E     Dbm   Abdim7
There's no currency in Kerouac
   A                   E
At least not since the sixties
                     B   Dbm
Lord, take pity on a vagabond
      Bbdim7              A
Whose sails have all gone slack

[Chorus]
A                  B            
When I was a young man, I never 
Dbm                 A
dreamed it wouldn't last
      Dbm                          
All I wanted was tomorrow, now I'm 
Gb7            B
haunted by the past
           A                      
Don't know where I'm going, all I 
Abm      Dbm     E7     A
know is, I ain't coming back
          Dbm        Gb7     B Dbm
I've had enough of Columbus Ohio
                     Gb7     B E
I've had enough of Columbus Ohio
