Jesse lit us up and [A] passed the bottle one [Am] more time
We used to smoke and drink a lot [E] back then
_ _ Thunder shook the heaven's [A] sand, the lightning [Am] danced the sky
_ I can't sing since I can't [E] remember when _ _ _ _ _
The Oklahoma kid lay [A] dying in a [Am] woman's womb
_ _ Just another Indian [E] biting dust
_ _ _ _ _ _ Clouds grew dark and promised but [A] they [Am] didn't rain a thing
The government ain't something you [E] can trust _
[G] Oh, the Oklahoma [A] wind [D] slides across the [G] burning sand
Over double [A] crosses, mother [E] nature made
We _ _ _ _ picked the gig in Tulsa [Am] at the King's Ballroom that night
_ The [A] Oklahoma kid was [E] dead and gone _ _ _ _
_ The rain still hadn't come [Am] but the clouds still blackened the sky
That's when I took [A] the time to write [E] this song about the wrong
Oh, [G] the Oklahoma [A] wind [D] slides across the burning [G] sand
Over double [A] crosses, mother [E] nature made
_ [G] And nothing's [A] ever come [D] as far as [G] I'm concerned
From old dead [A] tomorrows, planted [E] yesterday

The _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ black man took a chance and [A] got his foot hung in the door
_ He's sure as hell is gonna [E] have to stay
_ [Em] _ [E] The red man speaks his piece to [Am] gain his long lost dignity _ _
Washington just turned [E] the other way _ _
Jesse spends his days in [Am] Loco Hills, New Mexico _
Every _ night he drinks his [E] Nuro Brew
_ When Rio Goss is running, [Am] he lays his money down
_ _ Winning just enough to [E] lose, lose, lose, lose
[G] Oh, the [A] Oklahoma wind [D] slides across the [G] burning sand
Over double [A] crosses, mother [E] nature made
_ [G] And nothing's [A] ever come [D] as far as [G] I'm concerned
From old dead [A] tomorrows, planted [E] yesterday
_ _ [G] Oh, the [A] Oklahoma wind [D] slides across the [G] burning sand
Over double [A] crosses, mother [E] nature made
_ [G] And [A] nothing's ever come [D] as far as [G] I'm concerned
From old dead [A] tomorrows, planted [E] yesterday _ _ _ _ _ _ _
