Chords for Jamie Lin Wilson ~ Oklahoma Stars

[Bb] they were wide awake making friends and then I remember looking up in the sky
and there was a meteor shower happening at the same time _ and later on a few days later as I was
[Gm] recovered [Bb] I remember putting those two things together that as there was an actual meteor
shower in the sky there were [C] all these [Bb] _ people walking around meeting each other
and having a good time and then leaving _ so [Cm] [Bb] I wrote this song most of it anyway _ _
about that and I said to Evan and I said hey Evan y'all know what I'm saying
your first name basis around these parts
sent to Evan I said hey you'll probably like this song it says Oklahoma in it
_ _ and then immediately thought well that's dumb what if he said hey Jamie I wrote this song
that has Texas in it but he don't like it nope _ but he did like it and he said I do like it
_ I'll have you another verse in 30 minutes _ and whenever Evan says I'll have you another verse
in 30 minutes you don't say well I thought it was done you say okay _ _ and 30 minutes later I got a
picture of a sheet of paper with the last verse of this song in it and _ _ then a few weeks later
Turnpike went in and recorded a record in El Paso and he called me and said hey we recorded that song
you want to come and sing on it?
I said yep I'll be there on Monday _ _ so last February I went to the
studio and I recorded this song and then I said hey Evan I recorded that song you want to come
sing on it and he said yep then he came down to Austin and he sang on my version
so _ it all comes full circle this song is called Oklahoma Stars

we [Bb] were
lying still and watching rain flying
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] Oklahoma _
[Eb] never seen a night so [F] cool and clear _ [Eb] shooting stars
[Bb] Oklahoma _
burning [F] so bright [D] then [Bb] disappear
but _ _ _ the moonlight has a way of throwing shadows on the night
would have been a shame to waste the only space we had to hide
[Eb] then the morning glow was bright as shining light upon our faces
[Bb] fading with the dawn
when our stepping ways [Eb] left starting
_ [Bb] Oklahoma
never [Eb] seen a night so [F] cool and clear
[Bb] [G] shooting _ [Cm] stars
[Bb] _ Oklahoma
[F] burning so bright [D] then [Gm] disappear
_ [Eb] but the starting Oklahoma
let [Cm] _ your [Bb] light let your light into the darkness
on a night
when _ _ [Eb] _
everyone's _ _ a fool
[F] how we all just got here
forget the rain and break the [Fm] rules
[Eb] _ _
_ [Cm] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ [Eb] _ _
[Ab] _ [Eb] _ [Bb] _ _ _ [C] _ [F] _ _
[Bb] _ [C] _ _ _ [Bb] would it take a fool to say it
like a photograph of grace
but fools need [Bbm] supervision
or [Bb] just for saving face
[Eb] yeah we got it on a handshake
we bought it for a song
[Bb] let's just chase a simple feeling
to _ [Eb] exhausting stars
[Bb] in Oklahoma
never [Eb] seen a night so [F] cool and clear
[Eb] shooting _ [Cm] stars
[Bb] _ _ _ [F] burning so bright [Gm] then disappear
now [F] we burn so bright [Bb] then disappear
thank _ _
