Mind the record.
_ _ _ _ When the help ended up in the strip I was [D] young and [G] full of debt
I wanted some place to call [D] my home
_ [G] And so I made the race and [C] I staked me out [G] a place
And I settled down [A] along the Cimarron
_ It blowed away, _ it blowed away
_ _ My Oklahoma [C] home was blown away
[A] Well it [G] looked so green and fair when I built my [G] shanty there
Now my Oklahoma home was blown away
_ Well I planted weeds and oats, had some [C] chickens and some shoes
Aimed to have some ham and eggs to feed [D] my face
Got a mule to pull the plow, got an [C] old red mule to [G] jack
And I also got a [D] fancy mortgage on [G] this place
Well it blowed [C] away, it blowed away
_ [G] _ _ All the crops that I planted blown [D] away
_ Well you [G] can't grow any green if you [C] ain't got any [G] rain
Everything except my [D] mortgage blown [G] away

looked so green and fair when [C] I built my [G] shanty there
I figured I was all set for [D] life _ _
[G] Put on my Sunday vest and [C] my fancy [G] scallop piece
And I went to town [D] to pick me [G] out a wife
She blowed away, blowed _ _ _ away
Yeah my Oklahoma home was blown [D] away _
[G] Well as I bent the chisel she [Am] was picked up [G] by a twister

[G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I was left alone, just [C] listening to [G] the moan
Of the wind around the corners of [D] my shack
Well [G] I took off down the road, yeah [C] that's when the south [G] wind blowed
And I traveled [D] with the wind upon [G] my back
It [C] blowed away, I [G] blowed away _
Yeah just chasing that dust cloud [D] up ahead _
[G] Once it looked so green and fair [C] when I built my [G] sweet home there
My Oklahoma farm was over here _ _

Oklahoma dust is [D] everywhere
[A] _
[G] Makes no difference where I'm walking, [C] I can hear my chicken [G] squawk
I can hear my [D] wife talking in the air
It [C] blowed away, it [G] blowed away
