Boy From Oklahoma chords

CAPO: 5th Fret

[C]Travelling across the [G]country
Playing on the circuit [C]line
Sometimes I think a[Am]bout a man
Who was [D7]here before my [G7]time
[F]Named for the 28th [C]president
With a [F]Guthrie tacked to the [G]end
Born in [C]Okemah [G]shoes
With the [Bb]Dust Bowl [F]blues
He's a [G]friend of the working [C]man

Now he wasn't fond of [G]New York buildings
That tried to touch the [C]sky
Or the West Virginia [Am]coal mines
That [D7]took so many [G7]lives
For the [F]way they drove the migrant [C]workers
Back [F]into Mexico [G]way
The [C]scabs they'd [G]run
When they'd [Bb]heard he'd [F]come
And the [G]bosses started to [C]pray

[CHORUS]
Just a [F]boy from Okla[G]homa
On an [C]endless one-night [Am]stand
[F]Wandering and a-[G]rambling
[C]Drifting with the midnight [Am]sand
[F]Singing the blues and [G]ballads
And [C]whatever came be[F]tween
Well, his [Dm]heart was in the Union
But his [Bb]soul was reaching [G]out for the servant's [C]dream [F] [G] [C]

Now I was talking to a [G]man
M et him in a bar near Clovis [C]town
He said the whole place was [Am]shaking
As they were [D7]passing his songs a[G7]round
And [F]then somebody [C]asked him
Where he'd [F]be when tomorrow [G]came
He just [C]said with a [G]grin,
"I put my [Bb]thumb in the [F]wind
And I'm [G]off down the road a[C]gain"

[CHORUS]
Just a [F]boy from Okla[G]homa
On an [C]endless one-night [Am]stand
[F]Wandering and a-[G]rambling
[C]Drifting with the midnight [Am]sand
[F]Singing the blues and [G]ballads
And [C]whatever came be[F]tween
His [Dm]heart was in the Union
But his [Bb]soul was reaching [G]out for the servant's [C]dream [F] [G] [C]

Now you know Woody [G]Guthrie
Is dead and buried in the [C]ground
Sometimes I sing his [Am]songs
I get to [D7]thinking that he's still a[G7]round
'Cause his [F]fire is ever[C]lasting
His [F]course was run [G]true
That old [C]rambling man's [G]risen
And the [Bb]kingdom is [F]his
But his [G]songs are for me and [C]you

[CHORUS]
Just a [F]boy from Okla[G]homa
On an [C]endless one-night [Am]stand
[F]Wandering and a-[G]rambling
[C]Drifting with the midnight [Am]sand
[F]Playing the blues and [G]ballads
And [C]whatever he came be[F]tween
His [Dm]heart was in the Union
His [Bb]soul was reaching [G]out for the servant's [C]dream
