  			G                      D7                         G 
I could see it in your eyes  when he blew in from Tulsa 

         G7            C         D7                  G 
With his guitar on his shoulder  I knew I was losing you 

         G7                   C                          G 
And there was nothing I could do  you left yourself wide open 

                     D7                     G 
And he just blew you over  like an Oklahoma wind 

  
     G7          C                                        G 
Like an Oklahoma twister  he's got you twisted around his finger 

                         D7                               G 
He's the kind that won't remember  when it's time to move along 

     G7          C                             G 
Like an Oklahoma twister he's a take advantage drifter 

                          D7                              G 
When he gets what he came after  you're gonna wake up all alone 

  
                    D7                      G 
Long before he came around  we had it all together 

       G7              C        D7                         G 
Didn't count on stormy weather  I thought I could count on you 

      G7                    C                      G 
Ain't there something I can do to make you see the danger 

                       D7                           G 
Of that guitar picking stranger  before he gets you down 

  
     G7          C                                        G 
Like an Oklahoma twister  he's got you twisted around his finger 

                         D7                               G 
He's the kind that won't remember  when it's time to move along 

     G7          C                             G 
Like an Oklahoma twister he's a take advantage drifter 

                          D7                              G 
When he gets what he came after  you're gonna wake up all alone
