      (G)                  (G7)
Many months have come & gone,
        (C)
Since I wandered from my home 
         (D7)                         (G)
In those Oklahoma hills where I was born. 


(D7)     (G)                (G7)
Many a page of life has turned 
       (C)
Many a lesson I have learned 
       (D7)                               (G)
But I feel like in those hills I still belong.



  (Chorus) 

Way down yonder in the Indian Nation 
  (C)
I rode my pony on the reservation 
          (D7)                         (G)
In those Oklahoma hills where I was born
 
Way down yonder in the Indian Nation
  (C) 
A cowboy's life is my occupation 
         (D7)                         (G)
In those Oklahoma hills where I was born.


                   (G7)          (C)
But as I sit here today, Many miles I am away 
         (D7)                               (G)
From the place I rode my pony through the draw 
(D7)        (G)                  (G7)
Where the oak and blackjack trees
          (C) 
Kiss the playful prairie breeze
          (D7)                        (G) 
In those Oklahoma hills where I was born.



                     (G7)           (C)    
Now as I turn life a page, To the land of the great Osage 
          (D7)                        (G)
In those Oklahoma hills where I was born.
(D7)        (G)         (G7) 
Where the black oil rolls & flows
          (C) 
And the snow white cotton grows 
         (D7)                          (G)
In those Oklahoma hills where I was born.
