Tulsa Time - Eric Clapton


For I've read some funny lyrics about that song before, I thought it was time to give you the right one! :)


[1. Verse:]
G          
When I left Oklahoma,
   
driving in a Pontiac
                       D
just about to lose my mind,

I was going to Arizona,

maybe on to California
                            G 
where people are living so fine.

My mama called me crazy,

my baby said I'm lazy,
                        D
gonna show 'em all the style.

'Cause you know I ain't no fool

and I don't need no more damn school.
                     G
Gonna just walk the line.


[Chorus:]

Living on Tulsa Time.
                 D
Living on Tulsa Time.

Gonna set my watch back to it,

'cause you know that I've benn throgh it.
                 G
Living on tulsa time.


[Solo on Verse]


[2. Verse:]
G
So there I was in Hollywood,

thinkin' I was doing good,
                          D
talking on the telephone line.

They don't want me in the movies

and nobody sings my songs;
                           G
mama said my baby's doing fine.

So then I started thinking,

that I got to wink it
                           D
I really had a flash this time

that I had no bussiness leaving

and nobody would be greaving.
                      G
You see I'm on Tulsa Time.


[Chorus]
