Danny Flowers - Tulsa Time guitar tab
Tulsa Time - Danny Flowers
as covered by Don Williams and then Eric Clapton
Here's a rocked-up version of an old one by Danny Flowrers
He wrote this back in 1960;
It's been covered by Don Williams and then Eric Clapton.
Danny's re-recording of his classics was just re-released
It is electric, riviting and well worth the $12 for the CD.
Playing Tulsa Time has given me much pleaseure over the years.
I hope you enjoy it. I include Clapton's intro. Try it.
Works Great with a slide in "E" tuning.
Tuning : E A D G B E Time Signature: 4/4

E
I left Okalahoma - Drivin' in my Pontiac -
E B7
Just about to lose my mind
B7
Goin' to Arizona, maybe on to California
B7 E
Where the people tell me living's so fine
Well, my momma said I'm lazy, my baby called me crazy,
Gonna show 'em all this time
'Cause you know I ain't no fool, And I don't need no modern school
Gonna just walk that line
E B7
Livin on Tulsa Time - Livin on Tulsa Time
B7
Set my watch back to it 'Cause you know I been through it
B7 A E
Livin on Tulsa Time
Well, there I was in Hollywood, Wishin' I was doin' good
Talkin' on the telephone line
They don't want me in the movie - Ain't nobody'll sing my songs
Momma said my baby's on the line
Then I started drinkin' and then I got to thinkin'
I really had a flash this time
I had no business leaving' - Won't nobody will be grieving'
If I head on back to Tulsa Time
End -
Chorus 2x - then
E7 B7 E
Livin on Tulsa Time
E7 B7 E
Livin on Tulsa Time
E7 B7 E
Livin on Yankee Time
