I Ain't In Checotah Anymore
Carrie Underwood
From: Some Hearts
No Capo
Note: The C chord fingering changes a little bit in
the intro, the first part of the song and the ending C chord.
You can play it as X32013 first and then play it right after
that as 332010.
Intro: C F C G
Where 6[C]9 meets 40,
There's a single stop light town,
And b[F]ack when I was really young,
P[Am]art of that burned down,[G]
On a[C]ny given Friday night,
We'd drive a hundred miles,
Between the So[F]nic and the Grocery Store,
La[Am]ughin' all the while,[G]
With as m[Am]any friends as [G]I could pack,
I[F]n my daddy's Ford,
But I a[Am]in't [G]in Che[F]cotah anymore.[C]
My ho[C]tel in Manhattan,
Holds more pe[F]ople than our town,
And what [C]I just paid for dinner,
Would be a down pay[G]ment on a house,
I'd rather be ti[Am]ppin' cows in Tu[G]lsa,
Then hailing c[F]abs here in New York,
But I a[Am]in't [G]in Che[F]cotah anymore.[C]
Chorus:
I'm in a world s[F]o wide,
It makes me feel sm[C]all sometimes,
I miss the [Am]big blue skies,[G]
The Oklaho[F]ma kind.
In a wo[C]rld of long red carpets,
The bright li[F]ghts of Hollywood,
All the papa[C]razzi flashin'
Can make a g[G]irl feel pretty good,
You can get any[Am]thing you w[G]ant here,
Ex[F]cept a Wal-Mart store,
But I a[Am]in't [G]in Che[F]cotah anymore.[C]
Chorus:
I'm in a world s[F]o wide,
It makes me feel sm[C]all sometimes,
I miss the [Am]big blue skies,[G]
The Oklaho[F]ma kind.
Where the Wil[G]dcats beat the Ironheads,
Old Settler's day and the Okrafest,
After prom down at the bowling lanes,
Catchin' crappy fish in Eufaula lake,
I a[Am]in't [G]in Che[F]cotah anymore.[Fsus4]
[F] [C] [Fsus4] O[F]h Ye[G]ah...
Chorus:
I'm in a world s[F]o wide,
It makes me feel sm[C]all sometimes,
I miss the [Am]big blue skies,[G]
The Oklaho[F]ma kind,
But I a[Am]in't [G]in Che[F]cotah,
No I a[Am]in't [G]in Che[F]cotah,
Oh, there's no[Am]thing like O[G]klah[F]oma.
Where 6[C]9 meets 40,
There's a single stoplight town
