Subject: Lyr/Chords Add: OKIE FROM MUSKOGEE (Merle Haggard)
Hello everybody! There's the Merle Haggard's "Okie from Muskogee" As I am playin' it:
INTRO | |A |A |D |D |
D We don't smoke marajuana in Muskogee A We don't take our trips on LSD A We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street D Cause we like living right and being free
D We don't make a party out of loving A But we like holding hands and pitching woo A We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy D Like the hippies out in San Francisco do
D And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee A A place where even squares can have a ball A We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse D Bb And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all
Eb Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear Bb Beads and Roman sandles won't be seen Bb And football's still the roughest thing on campus Eb And the kids here still respect the college dean
Eb And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee Bb A place where even squares can have a ball Bb We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse Bb Eb And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all Bb Eb And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all Bb Eb In Muskogee U.S.A.
TAB: There are two possible ways to tune the guitar. 1. Drop D: D A D G B D (preferred) 2. Standard: E A D G B E
