Capo on the 2nd fret. Chorus: GAD G A D G Omaha you've been weighing heavy on my mind A D I guess i never really left at all G A D G I'm turning all those roads i've walked around the other way A D And coming back to you,Omaha Verse 1: G A D G Omaha,Nebraska wasn't good enough for me A D I always thought i was the roamin' kind G A D G With a pocket full of dreams and my one shirt on my back A I left there looking for some things to find Verse 2: G A D G Rode my thumb to San Francisco,i worked down by the bay A D Got some schoolin' paid for by the law G A D G The hardest thing i learned was there ain't no easy way A To get ahead behind those county walls Verse 3: G A D G So it's so long California,i reckon' i'll be moving on A D I'm leaving even if i had to crawl G A D G I got some loose ends around that i left undone A D Waiting there for me in Omaha Chorus.
