When they opened up the strip I was young and full of zip,
A
I wanted some place to call my home
D G D
And so I made the race, and I staked me out a place,
A D
And I settled down along the Cimarron
G D
It blowed away,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed away, (BLOWED AWAY!)
A
My Oklahoma home, it blowed away
D G D
It looked so green and fair when I built my shanty there,
A D
But my Oklahoma home, it blowed away
D G D
I planted wheat and oats, had some chickens and some shoats,
D A
Aimed to have some ham and eggs to feed my face
D G D
Got a mule to pull the plow, got an old red muley cow
D A D
And I also got a fancy mortgage on the place
G D
It blowed away,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed away, (BLOWED AWAY!)
A
All the crops that I have planted blowed away
D G D
You can't grow any grain if you ainā??t got any rain;
A D
Everything except my mortgage blowed away
D G D
It looked so green and fair, when I built my shanty there,
A
I figured I was all set for life
D G D
I put on my Sunday best with my fancy scalloped vest
A D
And I went to town to pick me out a wife
G D
It blowed away,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed away, (BLOWED AWAY!)
A
My Oklahoma woman blowed away
D G D
Mister as I bent and kissed her, she was picked up by a twister;
A D
My Oklahoma woman blowed away
D G D
Then I was left alone just a-listenin' to the moan
D A
ā??the wind around the corners of my shack;
D G D
So I took off down the road when the south wind blowed,
A D
A-travelin' with the wind upon my back
G D
It blowed away, (BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed away, (BLOWED AWAY!)
A
Chasin' that dust cloud up ahead
D G D
Once it looked so green and fair, now it's up there in the air;
A D
My Oklahoma farm is over head
D G D
Now I'm always close to home it donā??t matter where I roam,
A
For Oklahoma dust is everywhere
D G D
Makes no difference where I'm walkin', I can hear my chickens squawkin'
A D
I can hear my wife a-talkin' in the air
G D
It blowed away,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed away, (BLOWED AWAY!)
A
My Oklahoma home blowed away
D G D
But my home is always near; it's up in the atmosphere,
A D
My Oklahoma home is blown away
D G D
I'm a roamin' Oklahoman, but I'm always close to home
A
And I'll never get homesick until I die
D G D
Cause no matter where I'm found, my home is all around;
A D
My Oklahoma home is in the sky
G D
It blowed away,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed away, (BLOWED AWAY!)
A
My farm down on the Cimarron
D G D
But all around the world, wherever dust is swirled,
A D
Thereā??s some from my Oklahoma home
G D
It blowed away,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed away, (BLOWED AWAY!)
A
My Oklahoma home is blown away
D G D
Yeah it's up there in the sky in that dust cloud over nā?? by,
A D
My Oklahoma home is in the sky
A D
Full
key step up
Half
key step up
Half
key step down
Full
key step down
