Oklahoma

Capo 1


C                    C/B
Suitcase packed with all his things
Am                    Am/G
Car pulls up, the doorbell rings
         F
He don't want to go
                Dm    Dm7 G
He thought he'd found his home
         C             C/B
But with circumstances he can't 
change
Am                    Am/G
Waves goodbye as they pull away
         F
From the life he's known
                   ?         G
For the last seven months or so


Chorus 1:
            F
She said we found the man who looks 
like you
    Am7
Who cried and said he never knew

 F               G                
About the boy in pictures that we 
C
showed him
  F
A rambler in his younger days
   Am7
He knew he made a few mistakes
       Dm                  F
But he swore he would have been 
there

Had he known it
       F                   G      
Son we think we found your dad in 
    C
Oklahoma



A million thoughts raced through his
 mind
What's his name, what's he like and 
will he be
Anything like the man in his dreams
She could see the questions in his 
eyes
Whispered 'don't be scared my child
I'll let you know, what we know

Chorus 2:
About the man we found, he looks 
like you
who cried and said he never knew
About the boy in pictures that we 
showed him
A rambler in his younger days He 
knew he'd made a few mistakes
But he swore he would've been there 
had he known it
You always said that this was 
something that you wanted
Son it's time to meet your Dad in 
Oklahoma


One last turn he held his breath
'Til they reached the fifth house on
 the left
And all at once the tears came 
rolling in
And as they pulled into the drive
A man was waiting there outside
Who wiped the worry from his eyes 
smiled and took his hand

Chorus 3:
And he said I'm the man who looks 
like you
Who cried because I never knew
About that boy in pictures that they
 showed me
A rambler in my younger days I knew 
I made a few mistakes
But I swear I would have been there 
had I known it
Never again will you ever be alone
Son welcome to your home in Oklahoma
