                                               Em 
      We used to smoke and drink a lot back then 
                                           Am 
      Thunder shook the heavens and the lightning danced the sky 
                                                Em  
      Like i ain't seen since can't remember when

      The Oklahoma kid laid dying in a women's wing 
                                    Em 
      Just another indian biting dust 
                                              Am  
      Clouds grew dark in promise but they didn't rain a thing 
                                                Em  
      The government ain't something you can trust

               G         A             D                G        
      Oh the Oklahoma wind slides across the burning sand

      Over double crosses mother nature made

      We picked a gig in Tulsa at the Cains ballroom that night 
                                       Em 
      The Oklahoma kid was dead and gone 
                                          Am 
      Rains still hadn't come but the clouds still blacked the sky 
                                                                  Em 
      That's when i took the time to write this song about the wrong 
 
Chorus: 
                G        A             D                G  
      Oh the Oklahoma wind slides across the burning sand 
                          A               Em     
      Over double crosses mother nature made 
             G              A       D             G 
      And nothing's ever come as far as i'm concerned  
                                 A               Em   
      From those dead tomorrows planted yesterday

     Em                                          Am 
      The white man took a chance and got his foot hung in the door 
                                           Em 
      He sure as hell is gonna have his day 
                                              Am                              
      The redman speaks his peace gain his long lost dignity 
                                          Em 
      Washington just turned the other way

      Jesse spends his days in Loco Hills New Mexico 
                                           Em  
      Every night he drinks his fill of booze 
                                           Am 
      When Williams ghost is running he lays his money down 
                                                Em   
      Winning just enough to lose to lose to lose ... 
 
Chorus.(x2)
