Billy Gilman - Oklahoma guitar chord

Oklahoma

By Billy Gilman

Capo 1

C C/B

Suitcase packed with all his things

Am Am/G

Car pulls up, the doorbell rings

F

He don't want to go

Dm Dm7 G

He thought he'd found his home

C C/B

But with circumstances he can't change

Am Am/G

Waves goodbye as they pull away

F

From the life he's known

? G

For the last seven months or so

Chorus 1:

F

She said we found the man who looks like you

Am7

Who cried and said he never knew

F G C

About the boy in pictures that we showed him

F

A rambler in his younger days

Am7

He knew he made a few mistakes

Dm F

But he swore he would have been there

Had he known it

F G C

Son we think we found your dad in Oklahoma

A million thoughts raced through his mind

What's his name, what's he like and will he be

Anything like the man in his dreams

She could see the questions in his eyes

Whispered 'don't be scared my child

I'll let you know, what we know

Chorus 2:

About the man we found, he looks like you

who cried and said he never knew

About the boy in pictures that we showed him

A rambler in his younger days He knew he'd made a few mistakes

But he swore he would've been there had he known it

You always said that this was something that you wanted

Son it's time to meet your Dad in Oklahoma

One last turn he held his breath

'Til they reached the fifth house on the left

And all at once the tears came rolling in

And as they pulled into the drive

A man was waiting there outside

Who wiped the worry from his eyes smiled and took his hand

Chorus 3:

And he said I'm the man who looks like you

Who cried because I never knew

About that boy in pictures that they showed me

A rambler in my younger days I knew I made a few mistakes

But I swear I would have been there had I known it

Never again will you ever be alone

Son welcome to your home in Oklahoma
