Oh, Ilex in Ohio, [Em] there you go. _

that [C] on the New York City [Em] set, [G] you were [D] throwing up [Am] on your sheet.
_ [G] Trying to write [D] the big book, [C] when it really [G] had you shook.
With a bad [D] case of winter [Am] time.
_ _ [G] So you drank [D] her down, [C] to the ragged [Em] side town.
[G] Shared a taxi [D] to carry [Am] her home.
_ [G] And she left her [D]
handkerchief, [Am] there beside you [Em] on the seat.
As [G] if to emphasize [D] that you were [Am] all alone.
_ _ Smelled like springtime, when you were [D] just a boy.
[G] Oh, _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] Ilex in [D] Ohio, there [Em] you go.
[G] In the city streets, in the dirty winter [D] snow.
Oh, [G] Ilex [C] in [G] [D] Ohio, [Em] there you go.
Well, [G] she is [D] my love, [C] story you speak of, when [G] you talk [D] to [Am] Sam at the bar.
But [G] it's in the [D]
details, [C] your story [Em] often fails.
[G] You're close, [D] but no cigar.
[Am] _ _ You [G] might see your [D] own ass, [C] in a [Em] double whiskey [G] glass.
But you cannot [D]
erase her [Am] smile.
_ [G] And you'll never [D] write it down, [C] never find her in [G] this town.
Of phantom dreams [D] and [Am] fingernail fires.
It was [A] springtime, and you were [D] just a boy.
[G] Oh, Ilex in [D] Ohio, _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[D] there [Em] you go.
[G] In the city [C] streets, in the [G] dirty [D] winter snow.
_ [G] Oh, Ilex in [D] Ohio, [G] there you go. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ So [G] you pin her handkerchief, [C] to clean white [Em] linen sheets.
[G] And you [D] unmake your [Am] bed, and crawl in.
_ [G] You imagine [D] her there, [G] and you're tangled [Em] in her hair.
[G] And she smells [A] like flowers again.
[Am] _ _ And it's springtime, and you are [D] just a boy.
[G] Oh, Ilex in [D] Ohio, _ _ [G] oh, Ilex in [D] Ohio, there [Em] you go.
[G] In the city streets, in the dirty [D] winter snow.
_ [G] Oh, Ilex in [D] Ohio, [G] Ohio. _
