Merle Haggard, Oakie From Muskogee (1969)
Key: :[Eb] (w: Merle Haggard, Eddie Burris)
VERSE 1:
[Eb] We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee
We don't take our trips on L.S.-
[Bb7]-D.
We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street
We like livin' right, and bein'
[Eb] free
VERSE 2:
[Eb] We don't make a party out of lovin'
We like holdin' hands and pitchin'
[Bb7] woo
We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy
Like the hippies out in San Francisco
[Eb] do
CHORUS 1:
I'm
[Eb] proud to be an Oakie from Muskogee
A place where even squares can have a
[Bb7] ball
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse
And white lightin's still the biggest thrill of
[Eb] all
SONG KEY CHANGE: [+1] [E]
VERSE 3:
[E] Leather boots are still in style for mainly footwear
Beads and roman sandals won't be
[B7] seen
Football's still the roughest thing on campus
And the kids here still respect the college
[E] dean
CHORUS 2:
I'm
[E] proud to be an Oakie from Muskogee
A place where even squares can have a
[B7] ball
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse
And white lightin's still the biggest thrill of
[E] all
OUTRO:
[B7] We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse
In Muskogee, Oklahoma, U.S.-
[E]-A.
