Oklahoma Lullaby
By Tom Paxton
>From Looking For The Moon (2002)
This being my first attempt at a song I apologize in advance for any errors
but it works for me!
hope it works for you to.
D A
Summer nights are hot in Oklahoma
D A
They?re like a blanket that you can?t kick off,
D A
So still you can hear a dog bark up in Kansas,
D A
D
You can hear one neighbor snore and the other one cough.
A F#
I try one side of the bed and then the other,
A F#
I?d give the world for sleep but sleep won?t come,
A F#
It?s 3:00 AM and I?m not even drowsy,
A F# D
And I know that countin? sheep won?t get it done.
Chorus:
D
So I lie there and hear those truck tires hummin?
A
I hear those air-breaks softly sigh,
D G D A G
Gears keep changin? as they climb that hill
D A G D
And that?s my Oklahoma lullaby.
D A
One night I had no hope at all of sleepin?,
D A
So I got dressed and walked on into town,
D A
Went and stood just passed the lights on Fourth Street,
D A D
Caught a ride on a diesel Dallas Bound.
A F#
We rolled down 66 passed Stroud to Chandler,
A F#
Bought a roll and a coffee in a cardboard cup,
A F#
I crossed the road and hitched on back to Bristow,
A F# D
Finally got to sleep as the sun came up.
D
Oh, I lie there and hear those truck tires hummin?
A
I hear those air-breaks softly sigh
D G D A G
Gears keep changin? as they climb that hill
D A G D
And that?s my Oklahoma lullaby
Instrumental:
A F#
All of that?s been changed now old 66 is gone
A F#
They built an Interstate and passed town by
A
F#
I?m a thousand miles away now it?s time that I moved on
A F# A
But some nights I still hear them if I try
D
Oh, I lie there and hear those truck tires hummin?
A
I hear those air-breaks softly sigh
D G D A G
Gears keep changin? as they climb that hill
D A G D
And that?s my Oklahoma lullaby
D G D A G
Oh, Gears keep changin? as they climb that hill
D A G D
And that?s my Oklahoma lullaby
