Okie From Muskogee

Merle Haggard

Intro

| |A |A |D |D |

We don’t smoke marajuana in Muskogee

	A
We don’t take our trips on	LSD

We don’t burn our draft cards down on Main Street

	D
Cause we like living right and being	free

We don’t make a party out of loving

	A
But we like holding hands and pitching	woo

We don’t let our hair grow long and shaggy

	D
Like the hippies out in San Francisco	do

chorus

	D
And I’m	proud to be an Okie from Muskogee

	A
A place where even squares can have a	ball

We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse

	D	Bb
And white lightning’s still the biggest thrill of	all

	Eb
Leather	boots are still in style for manly footwear

	Bb
Beads and Roman sandles won’t be s	een

	Bb
And	football’s still the roughest thing on campus

	Eb
And the kids here still respect the college	dean

chorus

	Eb
And I’m	proud to be an Okie from Muskogee

	Bb
A place where even squares can have a	ball

We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse

	Bb	Eb
And white l	ightning’s still the biggest thrill of	all

	Bb	Eb
And white	lightning’s still the biggest thrill of	all

	Bb	Eb
In	Muskogee U.S.	A.
