Bruce Springsteen – My Oklahoma Home chords

Capo on 2nd

D                                   G                 DWhen they opened up the strip I was young and full of zip,
                               AI wanted some place to call my home
    D                         G               DAnd so I made the race, and I staked me out a place,
                   A             DAnd I settled down along the Cimarron


           G                              DIt blowed away,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed away, (BLOWED AWAY!)
                             AMy Oklahoma home, it blowed away 
   D                               G               DIt looked so green and fair when I built my shanty there,
                A                DBut my Oklahoma home, it blowed away


  D                                G                 DI planted wheat and oats, had some chickens and some shoats,
D                                  AAimed to have some ham and eggs to feed my face
      D                             G             DGot a mule to pull the plow, got an old red muley cow
D                      A               DAnd I also got a fancy mortgage on the place


           G                              DIt blowed away,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed away, (BLOWED AWAY!)
                                          AAll the crops that I have planted blowed away
    D                           G             DYou can't grow any grain if you ain’t got any rain;
                     A                DEverything except my mortgage blowed away


   D                                G               D  It looked so green and fair, when I built my shanty there,
                            AI figured I was all set for life
      D                         G               DI put on my Sunday best with my fancy scalloped vest
                      A             DAnd I went to town to pick me out a wife


           G                              DIt blowed away,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed away, (BLOWED AWAY!)
                          AMy Oklahoma woman blowed away
       D                                 G              DMister as I bent and kissed her, she was picked up by a twister;
            A             DMy Oklahoma woman blowed away


     D                       G                DThen I was left alone just a-listenin' to the moan
     D                             A‘the wind around the corners of my shack;
     D                      G                   DSo I took off down the road when the south wind blowed,
                     A            DA-travelin' with the wind upon my back


           G                              DIt blowed away,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed away, (BLOWED AWAY!)
                            AChasin' that dust cloud up ahead
        D                             G                    DOnce it looked so green and fair, now it's up there in the air;
            A            DMy Oklahoma farm is over head


        D                             G              DNow I'm always close to home it don’t matter where I roam,
                          AFor Oklahoma dust is everywhere
         D                                   G                DMakes no difference where I'm walkin', I can hear my chickens squawkin'
                     A              DI can hear my wife a-talkin' in the air


           G                              DIt blowed away,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed away, (BLOWED AWAY!)
                         AMy Oklahoma home blowed away
       D                            G           DBut my home is always near; it's up in the atmosphere,
            A              DMy Oklahoma home is blown away


      D                          G               DI'm a roamin' Oklahoman, but I'm always close to home
                                    AAnd I'll never get homesick until I die
         D                          G            DCause no matter where I'm found, my home is all around;
            A              DMy Oklahoma home is in the sky


           G                              DIt blowed away,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed away, (BLOWED AWAY!)
                         AMy farm down on the Cimarron
    D                         G            DBut all around the world, wherever dust is swirled,
                     A        DThere’s some from my Oklahoma home


           G                              DIt blowed away,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed away, (BLOWED AWAY!)
                           AMy Oklahoma home is blown away
          D                           G                  DYeah it's up there in the sky in that dust cloud over n’ by,
            A              DMy Oklahoma home is in the sky
