Oklahoma Wind Billy Joe Shaver
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 the heavens and the [Am]lightning danced the sky
Like i ain't seen since can't remember [Em]when
Verse 2:
[Em] The Oklahoma kid laid dying [Am]in a women's wing
Just another indian biting [Em]dust
Clouds grew dark in promise but they [Am]didn't rain a thing
The government ain't something you can [Em]trust
Bridge:
Oh the[G] Oklahoma [A]wind slides ac[D]ross the burning [G]sand
Ove[G/]r double cross[A/]es mother nature [Em]made
Verse 3:
[Em] We picked a gig in Tulsa at the C[Am]ains ballroom that night
The Oklahoma kid was dead and [Em]gone
Rains still hadn't come but the c[Am]louds still blacked the sky
That's when i took the time to write this song about the [Em]wrong
Chorus:
Oh the [G]Oklahoma [A]wind slides ac[D]ross the burning [G]sand
Over double cross[A]es mother nature[Em] made
And [G]nothing's ever [A]come as [D]far as i'm con[G]cerned
From those dead tomorrow[A]s planted yester[Em]day
Verse 4:(Waylon)
[Em] The white man took a chance and got his [Am]foot hung in the door
He sure as hell is gonna have his [Em]day
The redman speaks his peace gain his [Am]long lost dignity
Washington just turned the other [Em]way
Verse 5:(Waylon)
[Em] Jesse spends his days in Loco [Am]Hills New Mexico
Every night he drinks his fill of [Em]booze
When Williams ghost is running he [Am]lays his money down
Winning just enough to lose to lose to [Em]lose ...
Chorus.(x2).
