Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[Em]

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

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

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

[Verse 4]
Oh, the [G]Oklahoma [A]wind slides
[D]across the burning [G]sand
Over double crosses [A]Mother Nature [Em]made
And [G]nothing's ever [A]come as
[D]far as I'm con[G]cerned
From those dead tomorrows
[A]planted yesterday

[Interlude 1]
[Em]

[Verse 5]
[Em]Black man took a chance and got
his [Am]foot hung in the door
He sure as hell is gonna have his day
[Em]The redman speaks his peace,
gain his [Am]long lost dignity
And Washington just turned
the other way
[Em]

[Verse 6]
[Em]Jesse spends his days in Loco
[Am]Hills New Mexico
Every night he drinks his fill [Em]of booze
When Williams ghost is running,
he [Am]lays his money down
Winning just enough to lose
and [Em]lose and lose and lose

[Verse 7]
Oh, the [G]Oklahoma [A]wind slides [D]across
the burning [G]sand
Over double crosses
[A]Mother Nature mad[Em]e
And [G]nothing's ever [A]come as
[D]far as I'm con[G]cerned
From those dead tomorrows
[A]planted yesterday[Em]

[Outro 1]
[Em]
