[D]
They couldn't pick a better time to start in [G] life.
It ain't [D] too early [A] and it ain't [D] too late.
Starting as a farmer with a brand [G] new wife.
Soon be living in [A] a brand [D] new state.
[Gm] Brand [D] new state, [G] gonna switch your bread.
Gonna give you barley, carrots, and potatoes.
[A] [B] Pasture for the cattle, spinach and tomatoes.
[Em] Flowers on the prairie where the June bugs [D] zoom.
Plenty of air and plenty of [G] room.
Plenty of room to swing a rope.
Plenty [D] of heart [C] and plenty [D] of hope.
[A]
[C#] [D] Oh, [A] the Homer where the [Am] wind comes [Em] sweeping down the [A] plain.
And [Am] the waving wheat, [G] it sure [E] smells sweet
[D] when the wind comes [E] right behind [F#m] the rain.
[D] Oh, the [A] Homer every night, my [Em] honey lamb and [A] I
[Am] sit alone and talk [G] and [E] watch a [D] hawk
making [A] lazy [D] circles in the sky.
[G] We know we [D] belong to the land [A] and the land we [E] belong [A] to is grand.
[F#m] And when we say,
[D] Go!
Hi-ya, bye [E]-o, yay!
We're [D] only saying, [F#] you're doing [Bm] fine, Oklahoma, [E] [A] Oklahoma, [D] okay?
[B] [A] Woo!
