Dm
[Verse]
F C Bb
I am just a Yankee boy, born and bred in Boston
C Dm C/E
Where there ain’t no wide open spaces to get lost in
F C
But out here that’s all there is
Dm C Bb
And when the wind gets blowing, it makes a certain sound
C Gm
Almost like the ocean
[Pre-Chorus]
C
There’s a new moon
A7 Dm
And the latest country tunes
Eb Bb
Droning on the radio
[Chorus]
F Dm C
Oklahoma, Oklahoma
Bb F
I’m so far away from home
Bb C Bb
And I’m feeling low and lonesome tonight
C Dm
As the wind howls in from across the great divide
[Verse]
F C
I know I’m only standing on a giant’s shoulders
Bb C Dm C/E
I ain’t getting no younger and this world keeps getting colder
F C Dm C Bb
Sometimes I feel I’m barely on my way to where I’m bound
C Gm
Sometimes I wish I could lay this hammer down
[Pre-Chorus]
C
Hellfire and brimstone
A7
There’s some preacher
Dm Eb Bb
Droning on... the radio
[Chorus]
F Dm C
Oklahoma, Oklahoma
Bb F
I’m so far away from home
Bb C
And I’m feeling low and lonesome
[Chorus]
F Dm C
Oklahoma, Oklahoma
Bb F
I’m so far away from home
Bb C Bb
And I’m feeling low and lonesome tonight
C Dm Dm C/E
As the wind howls in from across the great divide
[Outro]
F C F
I am just a Yankee boy. Born and bred in Boston.
