Chords

From: Some Hearts Note: The C chord fingering changes a little bit in the intro, the first part of the song and the ending C chord. You can play it as X32013 first and then play it right after that as 332010. Intro: C F C G
       C
Where 69 meets 40,
There's a single stop light town,
     F
And back when I was really young, 

 Am                      G
Part of that burned down, 

    C
On any given Friday night,
We'd drive a hundred miles,
              F
Between the Sonic and the Grocery Store, 

  Am                   G
Laughin' all the while, 

         Am             G
With as many friends as I could pack, 

 F
In my daddy's Ford, 

       Am   G     F             C
But I ain't in Checotah anymore. 

     C
My hotel in Manhattan, 

             F         
Holds more people than our town, 

         C
And what I just paid for dinner, 

                   G
Would be a down payment on a house, 

                Am              G
I'd rather be tippin' cows in Tulsa, 

              F
Then hailing cabs here in New York, 

       Am   G     F             C
But I ain't in Checotah anymore.
Chorus:
                F
I'm in a world so wide, 

                   C
It makes me feel small sometimes, 

           Am             G
I miss the big blue skies, 

          F
The Oklahoma kind. 

       C
In a world of long red carpets, 

             F
The bright lights of Hollywood, 

            C
All the paparazzi flashin' 

            G
Can make a girl feel pretty good, 

               Am         G
You can get anything you want here, 

  F            
Except a Wal-Mart store, 

       Am   G     F             C
But I ain't in Checotah anymore.
Chorus:
                F
I'm in a world so wide, 

                   C
It makes me feel small sometimes, 

           Am             G
I miss the big blue skies, 

          F
The Oklahoma kind. 

             G
Where the Wildcats beat the Ironheads,
Old Settler's day and the Okrafest, After prom down at the bowling lanes, Catchin' crappy fish in Eufaula lake,
   Am   G     F             Fsus4
I ain't in Checotah anymore. 

F C Fsus4 F   G  
         Oh Yeah...
Chorus:
                F
I'm in a world so wide, 

                   C
It makes me feel small sometimes, 

           Am             G
I miss the big blue skies, 

          F
The Oklahoma kind, 

       Am   G     F
But I ain't in Checotah, 

      Am   G     F
No I ain't in Checotah, 

              Am          G   F
Oh, there's nothing like Oklahoma. 

       C
Where 69 meets 40,
There's a single stoplight town
