My Oklahoma Home chords by Bruce Springsteen

Chords with lyrics

Capo on 2nd

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


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

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


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


  D MajorD
It looked so green and fair, when I built my shanty there,
              A augmentedA
I figured I was all set for life
   D MajorD
I put on my Sunday best with my fancy scalloped vest
           D MajorD
And I went to town to pick me out a wife

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

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


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


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


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


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


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


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