George Strait
"Tell Me Something Bad About Tulsa"

(Intro)  D

(Verse 1)
           A                Bm            A
Love is so  beautiful, when everything is fine
            G/D              D/F#
But when it is like hers and mine
   Em                A7sus              D (fill 1 & 2)  Asus2
It lives and dies at least ten-thousand           times
   

(Chorus)
Dsus2                       Em    (Fill 3)
Tell me somethin' bad about Tulsa
G/D         D/F#     (fill 4)  Asus2         Dsus2  (fill 5)
  How those old oil wells       smell in the wind
                            Em    (fill 6)
Tell me somethin' bad about Tulsa
   G/D             D/F#  (fill 7)
So I won't have to go back
  Em          A7sus       Dsus2  (fill 8)
Believin' I belong there again

(Verse 2)
Dsus2
Eyes as blue as Tulsa skies
G/D                             Dsus2
  I kept gettin' lost in when I  met her

Hair like Oklahoma sand
G/D                               Dsus2
  I could run my hands through for-ever
F#m                    Bm
   But all good things must end
     A              G/D  F#m7
All rivers have to bend
                    Em
I keep runnin' out
                              Asus2, A7sus, A7
But she keeps pullin' me back in

(Chorus)
Dsus2                       Em    (Fill 9)
Tell me somethin' bad about Tulsa
G/D         D/F#          Asus2         Dsus2  (fill 10)
  How those old oil wells  smell in the wind
                            Em    (fill 11)
Tell me somethin' bad about Tulsa
   G/D             D/F#  (fill 12)
So I won't have to go back
  Em          A7sus       Dsus2  (fill 13)
Believin' I belong there again

(Outro)
Dsus2                       Em
Tell me somethin' bad about Tulsa
   G/D             D/F#
So I won't have to go back
  Em          A7sus       Dsus2   (fill 14) Em, G/D, A7sus, A7, Dsus2
Believin' I belong there again

Excellent job on the chords. A couple of the fills are a little off but overall a great job.
