[F#]
[E]
[A] Omaha,
[B] you've been weighing [E] heavy on [A] my mind.
Guess I never [B] really left [E] at all.
[A] I'm turning all [Bm] those roads I walked [E] around the other [A] way,
coming back [B] to you, [E] Omaha.
[A] Omaha,
[B] Nebraska [E] wasn't good enough [A] for me.
I always thought [B] I was a Roman [E] kind,
with [A] a pocket full of [F#] dreams and [E] my one shirt on [A] my back.
I left there looking for some [F#] things to find.
[G#m] Rode [A] my bum to San [F#] Francisco, [E] I worked down by [A] the bay.
Got some schooling [Bm] paid for by [E] the law.
[A] The hardest thing [F#] I learned there [E] was there ain't no easy [A] way
to get ahead behind those [B] county walls.
[D#m] So it's so long, [Bm] California, reckon [E] I'll be [A] moving on.
I'm leaving even [B] if I have [E] to crawl.
[A] I've got some loose [B] ends laying [E] around that I left [A] undone,
waiting there [B] for me in [E] Omaha.
[A] Omaha,
[F#] you've been [E] weighing heavy on [A] my mind.
I guess I [Bm] never really [E] left at all.
[A] I'm turning [F#] all those roads I [E] walked around the [A] other way,
coming [F#] back to you, [E] Omaha.
