"Tell Me Something Bad About Tulsa"
(Intro) D
(Verse 1)
Love is so [A] beautiful, when [Bm]everything is [A]fine
But when it [G/D]is like hers and [D/F#]mine
Em A7sus D (fill 1 & 2) Asus2
It lives and dies at least ten-thousand times
(Chorus)
Dsus2 Em (Fill 3)
Tell me somethin' bad about Tulsa
G/D D/F# (fill 4) Asus2 Dsus2 (fill 5)
How those old oil wells smell in the wind
Em (fill 6)
Tell me somethin' bad about Tulsa
G/D D/F# (fill 7)
So I won't have to go back
Em A7sus Dsus2 (fill 8)
Believin' I belong there again
(Verse 2)
[Dsus2]Eyes as blue as Tulsa skies
[G/D] I kept gettin' lost in when I [Dsus2] met her
Hair like Oklahoma sand
[G/D] I could run my hands through for[Dsus2]-ever
[F#m] But all good things [Bm]must end
All r[A]ivers have to b[G/D]end[F#m7]
I keep runnin' out[Em]
Asus2, A7sus, A7
But she keeps pullin' me back in
(Chorus)
Dsus2 Em (Fill 9)
Tell me somethin' bad about Tulsa
G/D D/F# Asus2 Dsus2 (fill 10)
How those old oil wells smell in the wind
Em (fill 11)
Tell me somethin' bad about Tulsa
G/D D/F# (fill 12)
So I won't have to go back
Em A7sus Dsus2 (fill 13)
Believin' I belong there again
(Outro)
[Dsus2]Tell me somethin' bad about [Em]Tulsa
So [G/D]I won't have to [D/F#]go back
Em A7sus Dsus2 (fill 14) Em, G/D, A7sus, A7, Dsus2
Believin' I belong there again
