Verse 1
(D major) When they opened up the
strip I was young and (G major) full (D major) of zip,
I wanted some place to call my (A major) own.
And (D major) so I made the race,
and staked (G major) me out a (D major) place,
And settled down along (A major) the Cimarron.
(D major)
Verse 2
It blowed (G major) away, it blowed away, (D major)
My Oklahoma home, it blowed away. (A major)
It looked (D major) so green and fair when I
built (G major) my shanty (D major) there,
But my Oklahoma home, it blowed away.

Verse 3
I (D major) planted wheat and oats,
got some chick (G major) ens and some (D major) shoats,
Aimed to have some ham and
eggs to feed my face. (A major)
Got a (D major) mule to pull the plow,
got an old (G major) red muley cow (D major)
And got a fancy mortgage (A major) on the place. (D major)
Verse 4
It (D major) blowed away, (G major) it blowed away, (D major)
All the crops I planted blowed away. (A major)
You can (D major) 't grow any grain if you
(G major) ain't got any (D major) rain;
All except the mortgage
(A major) blowed (D major) away.
Verse 5
It looked so green and fair, (D major)
when I built my (G major) shanty (D major) there,
I figured I was all set for life. (A major)
I put (D major) on my Sunday best with my
fancy (G major) scalloped (D major) vest
And went to town and
(A major) picked me out a wife. (D major)
Verse 6
(D major) She blowed away, (G major) she blowed away (D major)
My Oklahoma woman blowed away. (A major)
(D major) Mister as I bent and kissed her, she was
picked (G major) up by a (D major) twister;
My Oklahoma woman (A major) blowed away. (D major)
Verse 7
Then I was (D major) left alone a-listenin'
to (G major) to (D major) the moan
Of the wind around the corners
of my (A major) shack (D major) ;
So I took off down the road when the south (G major) wind blowed, (D major)
A-travelin' with with the wind at my back.
I blowed (G major) away,
Verse 8
I blowed (D major) away
Chasin' a dust cloud up ahead. (A major)
Once it (D major) looked so green and fair,
now it's up there (G major) in the (D major) air;
My Oklahoma farm (A major) is (D major) overhead.
Verse 9
Now I'm (D major) always close to home
no (G major) matter where I roam, (D major)
For Oklahoma dust is everywhere.
(A major) Makes (D major) no difference where I'm walkin',
I can hear (G major) my chickens (D major) squawkin'
I can hear my wife a-talkin' in
(A major) in the air (D major) .
Verse 10
It blowed away, (G major) it blowed away, (D major)
My Oklahoma home blowed away. (A major)
But my (D major) home is always near; it's
in the (G major) atmo (D major) sphere,
My Oklahoma home (A major) that blowed away. (D major)
Verse 11
I'm (D major) a roamin' Oklahoman, but I'm
(G major) al ways close (D major) to home
And I'll never get homesick 'til I die. (A major)
(D major) No matter where I'm found,
my home (G major) is all (D major) around;
My Oklahoma home is (A major) in (D major) the sky.
Verse 12
(D major) It blowed away, (G major) it blowed (A major) away, (D major)
My farm down upon the Cimarron. (A major)
But (D major) all around the world,
wherever (G major) dust (D major) is whirled,
Some is from my Oklahoma home.
It blowed away, (G major)
Verse 13
it blowed away, (D major)
My Oklahoma home blowed away. (A major)
(A major) Oh it's (D major) up there in the sky in that dust cloud (G major) rolling by, (D major)
my Oklahoma home is blowed away.
