[Verse 1]
G Em C G I've never been out of Tulsa before Em C G I wonder what it would be like G Em C G I've never known anybody to leave Em C G Most people get stuck here for life Am G My brother could've been a football star Am G People say he had a ticket out Am G My other brother suffers from a broken heart Am D From a girl he loved who up and moved away
[Verse 2]
G Em C G We got no parents, We fend for ourselves Em C G There's no one to show us thе way G Em C G My brothers are trying, But they'rе always out Em C G Just working their poor lives away D Am My name is Ponyboy, The youngest of the three C G I know there's so much more to life than what's in front of me D Am So I sneak into the movies just to glimpse the other side C D Rather take a risk and see it than to never even try
[Bridge 1]
F C G When I am looking up and Newman's on the screen Am C Em The entire world just melts away F C G And for a moment I'm not worried 'bout a thing F C F I just sit back and let the movie start to play
[Bridge 2]
A# F C G But unlike in the movies and the books I like to read A# F C Nothing in this town plays out the same A# F C G They tell me it was different back when we could all agree A# F C Somewhere down the line we lost our way G C We had places to go, we had things to do G C So they took one town and they split it in two G C The money went west take the grease to the east G C The train ran down the belly of the beast G C And here we are now, I'm talkin' to you G C When I get to the end, Tell me what should I do F C In a town that's torn in two, F C D What's a Greaser from the eastside s'pposed to do
[Chorus]
G Em C G This is Tulsa 1967 G Em C G And there's just one thing you need to know G Em C G You got greasers and socs that's how it's always been Em C G And that's probably how it's always gonna go
[Verse 3]
G Em C G There's another side of Tulsa that I hardly ever see Em C G It's like some kind of fairy tale land G Em C G The grass is always greener and the streets are always clean Em C D All the girls are pretty there and all the guys are mean Am G We call them Socs 'cause they live like socialites Am G Barbecues and graduation days Am G With better clothes and better cars and better lives Am D Just one town, two very different ways Em G C G But over on the East Side, the story's not the same Em G C G Another rundown building, another broken window pane Em G C G The cars no longer runnin’, sitting idle in the yard Am C They're building up the West Side while the East Side falls apart
[Verse 4]
Em G C G This town, it only holds ya down, there's judgement everywhere Em G C G And people think they know you by the way you wear your hair Em G C G If you're not born into money, then you're born into despair D C G And they'll do all that they can to keep your poor ass there
[Bridge 3]
D Am We gave ourselves a name 'cause we don't have a lot C G We stick together 'cause each other's all we got D Am We take a lot of pride in how we grease our hair C D People look us up and down and we don't even care F 'Cause we're Greasers C G Making something out of nothing, but it’s something that a Soc ain't got F We're Greasers C Dm D Ain't never gonna change and it really don't matter if you like it or not
[Chorus]
G Em C G This is Tulsa 1967 G Em C G And there's just one thing you need to know G Em C G You got greasers and socs that's how it's always been Em C G And that's probably how it's always gonna go Em C G And that's probably how it's always gonna go Em C G And that's probably how it's always gonna go
