Merle Haggard

Merle Haggard - Okie from Muskogee guitar chord

INTRO

| |A |A |D |D |

D

We don't smoke marajuana in Muskogee

A

We don't take our trips on LSD

A

We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street

D

Cause we like living right and being free

D

We don't make a party out of loving

A

But we like holding hands and pitching woo

A

We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy

D

Like the hippies out in San Francisco do

D

And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee

A

A place where even squares can have a ball

A

We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse

D Bb

And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all

Eb

Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear

Bb

Beads and Roman sandles won't be seen

Bb

And football's still the roughest thing on campus

Eb

And the kids here still respect the college dean

Eb

And I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee

Bb

A place where even squares can have a ball

Bb

We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse

Bb Eb

And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all

Bb Eb

And white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all

Bb Eb

In Muskogee U.S.A.
