Boy In Ohio

G                 C      G
Creek was running by the road
                          D
And the Buckeye sun was a-shinin'
   G                C          G
I rode my bike down Alum Creek Drive
     Em             Am
When I was a boy in Ohio

G                    C        G
The English teacher he didn't care
                    F
He challenged us to checkers
    Bb                   Dm     D7
And once in a while we'd swap a joke
                     Eb
When I was a boy in Ohio

G                         C      
Once I was caught playing hooky 
    G
from school
                          D
They found me home in the evening
     G                        C   
I confessed I had been to the 
  G
movie show

When I was a boy in Ohio

G                     C         G
We would wait for the summer to come
                         F
For swimmin' and pickin' berries
    Bb            Dm         D7
But now a freeway covers the field
                      Eb
Where I used to be so happy

G               C      G
I remember the Burger Boy
Where the girls would shine like the
 D
 engines
        G         C      G
And the radio was always loud
     Em             Am
When I was a boy in Ohio

G               C            G
Spanish teacher she tried to help
                 D
She was much too pretty
   G                    C         
So I just stared at the back of 
  G
her legs
     Em             Am
When I was a boy in Ohio

G                      C          
It was 3.2 beer at the honky tonk 
G
bar
                               D
Where they said the girls were easy
    G               C        G
But somehow I never found me one
     Em             Am
When I was a boy in Ohio

G                      C      G
Soon I was grown and I had to leave
                           D
And I've been all over the country
    C                    C        
But I don't believe I've had more 
G
fun
          Em             Am
Than when I was a boy in Ohio
