Billy Joe Shaver - Oklahoma Wind Chords

Verse 1:
     Em                                 Am 
 	 Jesse lit us up and passed the bottle one more time
                                               Em
 	 We used to smoke and drink a lot back then
                                           Am
 	 Thunder shook the heavens and the lightning danced the sky
                                                Em 
 	 Like i ain't seen since can't remember when


Verse 2:
     Em                              Am
 	 The Oklahoma kid laid dying in a women's wing
                                    Em
 	 Just another indian biting dust
                                              Am 
 	 Clouds grew dark in promise but they didn't rain a thing
                                                Em 
 	 The government ain't something you can trust


Bridge:
               G         A             D                G       
 	 Oh the Oklahoma wind slides across the burning sand
            G/            A/               Em
 	 Over double crosses mother nature made


Verse 3:
     Em                                   Am   
 	 We picked a gig in Tulsa at the Cains ballroom that night
                                       Em
 	 The Oklahoma kid was dead and gone
                                          Am
 	 Rains still hadn't come but the clouds still blacked the sky
                                                                  Em
 	 That's when i took the time to write this song about the wrong


Chorus:
                G        A             D                G 
 	 Oh the Oklahoma wind slides across the burning sand
                          A               Em    
 	 Over double crosses mother nature made
             G              A       D             G
 	 And nothing's ever come as far as i'm concerned 
                                 A               Em  
 	 From those dead tomorrows planted yesterday


Verse 4:(Waylon)
     Em                                          Am
 	 The white man took a chance and got his foot hung in the door
                                           Em
 	 He sure as hell is gonna have his day
                                              Am                             
 	 The redman speaks his peace gain his long lost dignity
                                          Em
 	 Washington just turned the other way


Verse 5:(Waylon)
     Em                                Am
 	 Jesse spends his days in Loco Hills New Mexico
                                           Em 
 	 Every night he drinks his fill of booze
                                           Am
 	 When Williams ghost is running he lays his money down
                                                Em  
 	 Winning just enough to lose to lose to lose ...


Chorus.(x2).
