[D] When they opened up the strip I was [G] young and full of [D] zip,
I wanted some place to call my [A] home [A7]
And [D] so I made the race, and I [G] staked me out a [D] place,
And I settled down a-[A]long the Cimar-[D]ron

[D] When they opened up the strip I was [G] young and full of [D] zip,
I wanted some place to call my [A] home [A7]
And [D] so I made the race, and I [G] staked me out a [D] place,
And I settled down [A] along the Cimar-[D]ron
It blowed a-[G]way,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed a-[D]way, (BLOWED AWAY!)
My Oklahoma home, it blowed a-[A]way
It [D] looked so green and fair when I [G] built my shanty [D] there,
But my Oklahoma [A] home, it blowed a-[D]way
I [D] planted wheat and oats, had some [G] chickens and some [D] shoats,
[D] Aimed to have some ham and eggs to [A] feed my face
Got a [D] mule to pull the plow, got an [G] old red muley [D] cow
[D] And I also got a fancy [A] mortgage on the [D] place
It blowed a-[G]way,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed a-[D]way, (BLOWED AWAY!)
All the crops that I have planted blowed a-[A]way
You [D] can't grow any grain if you [G] ain’t got any [D] rain;
Everything except my [A] mortgage blowed a-[D]way

[D] When they opened up the strip I was [G] young and full of [D] zip,
I wanted some place to call my [A] home [A7]
And [D] so I made the race, and I [G] staked me out a [D] place,
And I settled down a-[A]long the Cimar-[D]ron
{eos}
It [D] looked so green and fair, when I [G] built my shanty [D] there,
I figured I was all set for [A] life [A7]
I put [D] on my Sunday best with my [G] fancy scalloped [D] vest
And I went to town to [A] pick me out a [D] wife
She blowed a-[G]way,(BLOWED AWAY!), she blowed a-[D]way, (BLOWED AWAY!)
My Oklahoma woman blowed a-[A]way
Mister [D] as I bent and kissed her, she was [G] picked up by a [D] twister;
My Oklahoma [A] woman blowed a-[D]way
Then [D] I was left alone just a-[G] listenin' to the [D] moan
‘the [D] wind around the corners of my [A] shack;
So I [D] took off down the road [G] when the south wind [D] blowed,
A-travelin' with the [A] wind upon my [D] back
{np}
I blowed a-[G]way,(BLOWED AWAY!), I blowed a-[D]way, (BLOWED AWAY!)
Chasin' that dust cloud up a[A] head
Once it [D] looked so green and fair, now [G] it's up there in the [D] air;
My Oklahoma [A] farm is blown a-[D]way
{sos}
[D] When they opened up the strip I was [G] young and full of [D] zip,
I wanted some place to call my [A] home [A7]
And [D] so I made the race, and I [G] staked me out a [D] place,
And I settled down a-[A]long the Cimar-[D]ron
{eos}
Now I'm [D] always close to home it don’t [G] matter where I [D] roam,
For Oklahoma dust is every-[A] where [A7]
Makes no [D] difference where I'm walkin', I can [G] hear my chickens [D] squawkin'
I can hear my wife a-[A]talkin' in the [D] air
It blowed a-[G]way,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed a-[D]way, (BLOWED AWAY!)
My Oklahoma home blowed a-[A]way
But my [D] home is always near; it's up [G] in the atmos-[D] phere,
My Oklahoma [A] home is blown a-[D]way
I'm a [D] roamin' Oklahoman, but I'm [G] always close to [D] home
And I'll never get homesick until I [A] die
Cause no [D] matter where I'm found, my [G] home is all a-[D] round;
My Oklahoma [A] home is in the [D] sky
It blowed a-[G]way,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed a-[D]way, (BLOWED AWAY!)
My farm down on the Cimar-[A]ron
But [D] all around the world, wher-[G]ever dust is [D] swirled,
There’s some from my [A] Oklahoma [D] home
It blowed a-[G]way,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed a-[D]way, (BLOWED AWAY!)
My Oklahoma home is blown a-[A]way
Yeah it's [D] up there in the sky in that [G] dust cloud over n’ [D] by,
My Oklahoma [A] home is blown a-[D]way
{sos}
[D] When they opened up the strip I was [G] young and full of [D] zip,
I wanted some place to call my [A] home [A7]
And [D] so I made the race, and I [G] staked me out a [D] place,
And I settled down a-[A]long the Cimar-[D] ron
{eos}
It blowed a-[G]way,(BLOWED AWAY!), it blowed a-[D]way, (BLOWED AWAY!)
My Oklahoma home is blown a-[A]way
Yeah it's [D] up there in the sky in that [G] dust cloud over n’ [D] by,
My Oklahoma [A] home is in the [D] sky
