Chord/Tab song: Tulsa Time

Tulsa Time - Danny Flowers
as covered by Don Williams

Here's a rocked-up version of an old one by Danny Flowrers
He wrote this back in 1960; I hope you enjoy it.
It's been covered by Don Williams and then Eric Clapton.
I include the intro from Don Williams Classics version. Try it.
Works Great with a slide in "E" tuning, too.

Tuning : E A D G B E Time Signature: 4/4

[E]I left Oklahoma drivin' in a Pontiac, just about to lose my m[B7]ind

I was goin' on to Arizona, maybe on to California
Where all the people live so f[E]ine

My baby said I was crazy, my momma called me lazy
I was goin' to show 'em all this t[B7]ime

'Cause you know I ain't no fool an' I don't need no more schoolin'
I was born to just walk the l[E]ine

Chorus

[E]Livin' on Tulsa time
Livin' on Tulsa t[B7]ime

Well you know I've been through it

When I set my watch back to it
Livin' on Tulsa t[E]ime

Instrumental: E-B7-E

[E]Well there I was in Hollywood wishin' I was doin' good
Talkin' on the telephone l[B7]ine

But they don't need me in the movies and nobody sings my songs
Guess I'm just wastin' t[E]ime

Well then I got to thinkin', man I'm really sinkin'
And I really had a flash this t[B7]ime

I had no business leavin' and nobody would be grievin'
If I went on back to Tulsa t[E]ime

Repeat Chorus 2X
