A
All life we work but work is bore,
A
If life's for livin' what's livin' for,
A
She lives in a house that's near decay,
A                                     D   E
Built for the industrial revolution,

Chorus:
A                         E    A
But in her dreams she is far away,
A
In Oklahoma U.S.A.
A
With Shirley Jones and Gordon McRea,

A
As she buys her paper at the corner shop,
A                                                D E
She's walkin' on the surrey with the fringe on top,

Chorus:
A                            E         A
'Cause in her dreams she is far, far away,
A
In Oklahoma U.S.A.,

     D                        A         E
She walks to work but she's still in a daze,
       D                A     E
She's Rita Hayworth or Doris Day,
    F#m                  E         B D
And Errol Flynn's gonna take her away,
        E       A
To Oklahoma U.S.A.,
A
All life we work but work is a bore,
If life's for livin' then what's livin' for.
