Don Williams - Tulsa Time Tabs

Tulsa Time - Danny Flowers 
as covered by Don Williams

Here's a rocked-up version of an old one by Danny Flowrers 
He wrote this back in 1960; I hope you enjoy it.
It's been covered by Don Williams and then Eric Clapton.
 
I include the intro from Don Williams Classics version. Try it.  
Works Great with a slide in "E" tuning, too.

E                                                            B7
I left Oklahoma drivin' in a Pontiac, just about to lose my mind

I was goin' on to Arizona, maybe on to California
                              E
Where all the people live so fine

My baby said I was crazy, my momma called me lazy
                                  B7
I was goin' to show 'em all this time

'Cause you know I ain't no fool an' I don't need no more schoolin'
                             E
I was born to just walk the line

Chorus

E
Livin' on Tulsa time
                 B7
Livin' on Tulsa time

Well you know I've been through it

When I set my watch back to it
                 E
Livin' on Tulsa time

Instrumental: E-B7-E

E
Well there I was in Hollywood wishin' I was doin' good
                          B7
Talkin' on the telephone line

But they don't need me in the movies and nobody sings my songs
                        E
Guess I'm just wastin' time

Well then I got to thinkin', man I'm really sinkin'
                               B7
And I really had a flash this time

I had no business leavin' and nobody would be grievin'
                            E
If I went on back to Tulsa time


Repeat Chorus 2X

Outro: E-B7-E-B7 Fade out
