Capo IV
Chorus:
G D Em C
I was born in oklahoma, let down by the longbow family tree
G D C Em
And I went looking, for something, something that's been bothering me
Em
I was young, I wasn't ready
G
But he took me down, took me for granted
D
I was on my way, make her a dollar
Am
Mama didn't tell me to stay away form the holler
He closed my eyes, took me to the levee
Took me to the levee with a dried up middle
Throwed me a line, throwed me a line
and I………said
Take me home, take me to my mama
Tell her I was gone and I almost forgotten
And I saw her eyes knew she was lying
And it broke my heart
Chorus:
G D Em C
I was born in oklahoma, let down by the longbow family tree
G D C Em
And I went looking, for something, something that's been bothering me
Em
So I closed his eyes, took him to the levee
G
Whispered form behind, I was only eleven
D
Bless this child, I'll be forgiven
Am
Cause you broke my heart
Chorus:
G D Em C
I was born in oklahoma, raised up and let down by the family tree
G D C Am
And I went looking, for something, something that's been bothering me
C G D
Save … me, Oh save me
Em
Mama don't hate me
Em
You can take me down, but don't take me for granted
G
Theres a big old tree, that I wished I planted
D
A long time ago, a long time ago
Am
When he broke my heart
