    Many a month has come and gone,
      C
    since I wandered from my home,
                   D                                           G
    in those Oklahoma hills where I was born.

    Many a page my life has turned,
                  C
    many a lesson I have learned,
               D                                               G
    and I feel like in those hills where I belong.

    G
'Way down yonder on the Indian Nation,
 C
ridin' my pony on the reservation,
           D                                           G
in the Oklahoma hills where I was born.
‘Way down yonder on the Indian Nation,
     C
a cowboy's life is my occupation,
               D                                           G
In those Oklahoma hills where I was born.

              G
    But as I sit here today,
                 C
    many miles I am away
                     D                                                   G
    from the place I rode my pony through the draw.
    Where the oak and blackjack trees,
                    C
    kiss the playful prairie breeze,
               D                                                   G
    and I feel like in those hills where I was born.

                    G
    Now as I turn life a page
               C
    to the land of the great Osage,
                   D                                           G
    in those Oklahoma hills where I was born.
    Where the black oil rolls and flows
                     C
    and the snow-white cotton grows,
               D                                               G
    and I feel like in those hills where I belong.
