"Tulsa Time" by Don Williams

[Verse 1]
 
G
I left Oklahoma drivin' in a Pontiac
                      D
Just about to lose my mind
 
I was goin' to Arizona, maybe on to California
                             G
Where the people all live so fine
 
My baby said I's crazy, my momma called me lazy
                              D
I was gonna show 'em all this time
 
'Cause you know I ain't no fool an' I don't need no more schoolin'
                            G
I was born to just walk the line
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G
Livin' on Tulsa time
                D
Livin' on Tulsa time
 
Well you know I've been through it
 
When I set my watch back to it
                G
Livin' on Tulsa time
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
G
Well there I was in Hollywood, wishin' I was doin' good
                         D
Talkin' on the telephone line
 
But they don't need me in the movies and nobody sings my songs
                       G
Guess I'm just wastin' time
 
Well then I got to thinkin', man I'm really sinkin'
                              D
And I really had a flash this time
 
I had no business leavin' and nobody would be grievin'
                           G
If I went on back to Tulsa time
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G
Livin' on Tulsa time
                D
Livin' on Tulsa time
 
Gonna set my watch back to it
 
'Cuz you know I've been through it
                G
Livin' on Tulsa time
 
G
Livin' on Tulsa time
                D
Livin' on Tulsa time
 
Gonna set my watch back to it
 
'Cuz you know I've been through it
                G
Livin' on Tulsa time

Although recorded by Don Williams, Tulsa Time was written by Danny Flowers, one of Nashville's finest writers and guitarists. Danny was on tour with Don snowed in at a Tulsa hotel watching The Rockford Files when he wrote this. The song was recorded by Don Williams and Eric Clapton.

Any effort is greatly appreciated, but 9th fret? Seriously?
