I Ain't In Checotah Anymore

Carrie Underwood

 C
Where 69 meets 40,

There's a single stop light town,
 F
And back when I was really young,
 AmG
Part of that burned down, 
 C
On any given Friday night,

We'd drive a hundred miles,
 F
Between the Sonic and the Grocery Store,
 AmG
Laughin' all the while, 
 AmG
With as many friends as I could pack,
 F
In my daddy's Ford,
 AmGFC
But I ain't in Checotah anymore. 

 C
My hotel in Manhattan,
 F
Holds more people than our town,
 C
And what I just paid for dinner,
 G
Would be a down payment on a house,
 AmG
I'd rather be tippin' cows in Tulsa,
 F
Then hailing cabs here in New York,
 AmGFC
But I ain't in Checotah anymore. 

Chorus:
 F
I'm in a world so wide,
 C
It makes me feel small sometimes,
 AmG
I miss the big blue skies, 
 F
The Oklahoma kind.
 C
In a world of long red carpets,
 F
The bright lights of Hollywood,
 C
All the paparazzi flashin'
 G
Can make a girl feel pretty good,
 AmG
You can get anything you want here,
 F
Except a Wal-Mart store,
 AmGFC
But I ain't in Checotah anymore. 

Chorus:
 F
I'm in a world so wide,
 C
It makes me feel small sometimes,
 AmG
I miss the big blue skies, 
 F
The Oklahoma kind.
 G
                                    Where the Wildcats beat the Ironheads,

Old Settler's day and the Okrafest,

After prom down at the bowling lanes,

Catchin' crappy fish in Eufaula lake,
 AmGFFsus4
I ain't in Checotah anymore. 

 FCFsus4FG
          Oh Yeah...

Chorus:
 F
I'm in a world so wide,
 C
It makes me feel small sometimes,
 AmG
I miss the big blue skies, 
 F
The Oklahoma kind,
 AmGF
But I ain't in Checotah,
 AmGF
No I ain't in Checotah,
 AmGF
Oh, there's nothing like Oklahoma.
 C
Where 69 meets 40,
There's a single stoplight town
