OKIE FROM MUSKOGEE chrom
By: Merle Haggard, Roy Edward Burris
Key: Eb


3   -3*   -3* -3* -3* 4 -3* 3*  3  -2 -1*  
We don't smoke ma-ri-jua-na in Mus-ko-gee, 
 3  3   -3*   -3* -3*   4  -3* 3* 3 -2
And we don't take our trips on L. S. D.  
 3* 3*   3*   3*   3*   3*    3
And we don't burn our draft cards 
 -2  -2  -1*   -1
down on Main Street. 
-3* -3* -3* -3*  3*   3   -2 -1* -1  -1*
But we like liv-ing right and be-ing free.  
 
Chorus 
 3  -3*  -3* -3* -3*-3*4 -3*  3*   3  -2 -1*
And I'm proud to be an O-kie from Mus-ko-gee; 
3  -3*   -3* -3*-3*    4    -3*  3*  3  -2
A place where e-ven squares can have a ball. 
3*   3*   3*  3    3* 3
We still wave Ol' Glo-ry 
 -2  -2 -1*  -1*   -1
down at the Court House,  
 -3*   -3*   -3*    -3*   3*  3   -2
White light-ning's still the big-gest 
 -1*   -1 -1*
thrill of all. 

We don't make a party out of loving, 
But we like holding hands and pitching woo.
We don't let our hair grow long and shaggy, 
Like the hippies out in San Francisco do--- 

Leather boots are still in style 
if a man needs footwear, 
Beads and Roman sandals won't be seen. 
Football's still the roughest thing on campus,
 And the kids here still respect the College Dean
