Intro: C F C G

    C
Where 69 meets 40,

There's a single stop light town,
   F
And back when I was really young,
 Am           G
Part of that burned down,
  C
On any given Friday night,

We'd drive a hundred miles,
       F
Between the Sonic and the Grocery Store,
 Am          G
Laughin' all the while,
     Am       G
With as many friends as I could pack,
 F
In my daddy's Ford,
    Am  G   F       C
But I ain't in Checotah anymore.

   C
My hotel in Manhattan,
       F
Holds more people than our town,
     C
And what I just paid for dinner,
          G
Would be a down payment on a house,
        Am       G
I'd rather be tippin' cows in Tulsa,
       F
Then hailing cabs here in New York,
    Am  G   F       C
But I ain't in Checotah anymore.


Chorus:
        F
I'm in a world so wide,
          C
It makes me feel small sometimes,
      Am       G
I miss the big blue skies,
     F
The Oklahoma kind.


    C
In a world of long red carpets,
       F
The bright lights of Hollywood,
      C
All the paparazzi flashin'
      G
Can make a girl feel pretty good,
        Am     G
You can get anything you want here,
 F
Except a Wal-Mart store,
    Am  G   F       C
But I ain't in Checotah anymore.


Chorus:
        F
I'm in a world so wide,
          C
It makes me feel small sometimes,
      Am       G
I miss the big blue skies,
     F
The Oklahoma kind.


       G
Where the Wildcats beat the Ironheads,

Old Settler's day and the Okrafest,

After prom down at the bowling lanes,

Catchin' crappy fish in Eufaula lake,
  Am  G   F       Fsus4
I ain't in Checotah anymore.

F C Fsus4 F  G
     Oh Yeah...

Chorus:
        F
I'm in a world so wide,
          C
It makes me feel small sometimes,
      Am       G
I miss the big blue skies,
     F
The Oklahoma kind,
    Am  G   F
But I ain't in Checotah,
   Am  G   F
No I ain't in Checotah,
       Am     G  F
Oh, there's nothing like Oklahoma.

    C
Where 69 meets 40,

There's a single stoplight town
