My Oklahoma Home

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


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


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


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


   D                               
It looked so green and fair, when I
 G               D
 built my shanty there,
                            A
I figured I was all set for life

      D                        
I put on my Sunday best with my 
 G               D
fancy scalloped vest
                      A            
And I went to town to pick me out a
 D
 wife


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


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


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


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


           G                     
It blowed away,(BLOWED AWAY!), it 
         D
blowed away, (BLOWED AWAY!)
                         A
My Oklahoma home blowed away
       D                           
But my home is always near; it's up
 G           D
 in the atmosphere,
            A              D
My Oklahoma home is blown away


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


           G                     
It blowed away,(BLOWED AWAY!), it 
         D
blowed away, (BLOWED AWAY!)
                         A
My farm down on the Cimarron
    D                         G   
But all around the world, wherever
         D
 dust is swirled,
                     A        D
There’s some from my Oklahoma home


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