     D                    D7           G                E7
Many months have come and gone since I wandered from my home
         A        A7                D    A
In those Oklahoma hills where I was born
       D                D7             G             E7
Many a page of life has turned, many a lesson I have learned

Well I feel like in those hills I still belong

Away down yonder in the Indian Nation I rode my pony on the reservation
       A        A7                D     A
In the Oklahoma hills where I was born

Away down yonder in the Indian Nation a cowboy's life is my occupation

In the Oklahoma hills where I was born

Verse 2:
       D            D7        G          E7
But as I sit here today, many miles I am away
       A                 A7               D      A7
From the place I rode my pony through the draw
          D                  D7             G               E7
Where the oak and black-jack trees kiss the playful prairie breeze

In those Oklahoma hills where I was born

Now as I turn life a page to the land of the great Osage
         A        A7                D     A
In those Oklahoma hills where I was born
          D                   D7            G                 E7
Where the black oil rolls and flows and the snow white cotton grows

In those Oklahoma Hills where I was born
