#

***************** OKLAHOMA WIND ******************

written by Billy Joe Shaver

performed by Billy Joe Shaver and Waylon Jennings.

Verse 1:

Em Am

Jesse lit us up and passed the bottle one more time

Em

We used to smoke and drink a lot back then

Am

Thunder shook the heavens and the lightning danced the sky

Em

Like i ain't seen since can't remember when

Verse 2:

Em Am

The Oklahoma kid laid dying in a women's wing

Em

Just another indian biting dust

Am

Clouds grew dark in promise but they didn't rain a thing

Em

The government ain't something you can trust

Bridge:

G A D G

Oh the Oklahoma wind slides across the burning sand

G/ A/ Em

Over double crosses mother nature made

Verse 3:

Em Am

We picked a gig in Tulsa at the Cains ballroom that night

Em

The Oklahoma kid was dead and gone

Am

Rains still hadn't come but the clouds still blacked the sky

Em

That's when i took the time to write this song about the wrong

Chorus:

G A D G

Oh the Oklahoma wind slides across the burning sand

A Em

Over double crosses mother nature made

G A D G

And nothing's ever come as far as i'm concerned

A Em

From those dead tomorrows planted yesterday

Verse 4:(Waylon)

Em Am

The white man took a chance and got his foot hung in the door

Em

He sure as hell is gonna have his day

Am

The redman speaks his peace gain his long lost dignity

Em

Washington just turned the other way

Verse 5:(Waylon)

Em Am

Jesse spends his days in Loco Hills New Mexico

Em

Every night he drinks his fill of booze

Am

When Williams ghost is running he lays his money down

Em

Winning just enough to lose to lose to lose ...

Chorus.(x2).
