Tulsa Time - Danny Flowers 
as covered by Don Williams and then Eric Clapton


Here's a rocked-up version of an old one by Danny Flowrers 
He wrote this back in 1960; 
It's been covered by Don Williams and then Eric Clapton.

Danny's re-recording of his classics was just re-released
It is electric, riviting and well worth the $12 for the CD.
Playing Tulsa Time has given me much pleaseure over the years.
I hope you enjoy it. I include Clapton's intro. Try it.  
Works Great with a slide in "E" tuning.

Tuning : E A D G B E 	Time Signature: 4/4

I left Okalahoma - Drivin' in my Pontiac - 
E                          B7
Just about to lose my mind
B7
Goin' to Arizona, maybe on to California
B7                                      E  
Where the people tell me living's so fine


Well, my momma said I'm lazy, my baby called me crazy, 
Gonna show 'em all this time
'Cause you know I ain't no fool, And I don't need no modern school
Gonna just walk that line

E                                        B7
Livin on Tulsa Time  - Livin on Tulsa Time
B7
Set my watch back to it  'Cause you know I been through it
B7          A    E     
Livin on Tulsa Time

Well, there I was in Hollywood,  Wishin' I was doin' good
Talkin' on the telephone line
They don't want me in the movie - Ain't nobody'll sing my songs
Momma said my baby's on the line

Then I started drinkin' and then I got to thinkin'
I really had a flash this time
I had no business leaving' - Won't nobody will be grieving'
If I head on back to Tulsa Time

End - 
Chorus 2x - then
E7         B7      E
Livin on Tulsa Time
E7         B7      E
Livin on Tulsa Time
E7         B7      E
Livin on Yankee Time
