The Tulsa Shuffle

Verse One:
D                                    G7                         D
All across the South they've got the boogie bands that sound so fine

And on both coasts they've got the record comp'ny machines
E7                              A7
Turnin' out hits on an assembly line
           D
But in the heart of America we've got the beat
G7                   G#dim7
That's guaranteed to tap your toes
D                        B7           E9          G/A    D
Oklahoma's got the Tulsa shuffle, and this am the way it goes (2, 3, 4)

Chorus (instrumental):
D                G7        D        A    G7    D

Verse Two:
D                                            G7       D
Up north in Chicago, you've got your authentic blues bands
                                              E7                A7
Way down yonder in New Orleans, they've got a thing they call Dixieland
D                                         G7                       D
All around this whole wide world, there's one thing that everybody knows
                                  B7           E7          G/A    D
All God's children love the Tulsa shuffle, and this am the way it goes (2, 3, 4)

I love England, I love the Beatles, the Who and the Rolling Stones
                                            E7               A7
I love Nashville country and Texas Tex-Mex, Cajun and Motown soul
           D
But in the heart of America we've got the beat
G7                            D
That's guaranteed to tap your toes
                         B7           E7          G/A    D
Oklahoma's got the Tulsa shuffle, and this am the way it goes (2, 3, 4)
