_ _ _ _ [Cm] Now when I got to Oklahoma [Eb] I was 17, [Bb] my papa taught me how to work [F] and lord he was [Cm] mean.
Working all day and night, [Eb] August heat [Bb] and he taught me how to fish, [Fm] my uncle taught me how to drink. _ _

Soon my bottle [Eb] was too much to [Bb] company.
_ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Cm] Yeah we'd sit on [Eb] the river and we'd fish all day and [Bb] we'd drive across the country and [F] let the radio [Cm] play.
