	        No Capo 
 
Note:  The C chord fingering changes a little bit in  
the intro, the first part of the song and the ending C chord.  
You can play it as X32013 first and then play it right after  
that as 332010. 
 
 
Intro: C F C G 
 
       C 
Where 69 meets 40,  
 
There's a single stop light town,  
     F 
And back when I was really young,  
 Am                      G 
Part of that burned down,  
    C 
On any given Friday night,  
 
We'd drive a hundred miles,  
              F 
Between the Sonic and the Grocery Store,  
  Am                   G 
Laughin' all the while,  
         Am             G 
With as many friends as I could pack,  
 F 
In my daddy's Ford,  
       Am   G     F             C 
But I ain't in Checotah anymore.  
 
     C 
My hotel in Manhattan,  
             F          
Holds more people than our town,  
         C 
And what I just paid for dinner,  
                   G 
Would be a down payment on a house,  
                Am              G 
I'd rather be tippin' cows in Tulsa,  
              F 
Then hailing cabs here in New York,  
       Am   G     F             C 
But I ain't in Checotah anymore.  
 
 
Chorus: 
                F 
I'm in a world so wide,  
                   C 
It makes me feel small sometimes,  
           Am             G 
I miss the big blue skies,  
          F 
The Oklahoma kind.  
       
 
       C 
In a world of long red carpets,  
             F 
The bright lights of Hollywood,  
            C 
All the paparazzi flashin'  
            G 
Can make a girl feel pretty good,  
               Am         G 
You can get anything you want here,  
  F             
Except a Wal-Mart store,  
       Am   G     F             C 
But I ain't in Checotah anymore.  
 
 
Chorus:                
                F 
I'm in a world so wide,  
                   C 
It makes me feel small sometimes,  
           Am             G 
I miss the big blue skies,  
          F 
The Oklahoma kind.  
           
        
             G 
Where the Wildcats beat the Ironheads,  
 
Old Settler's day and the Okrafest,  
 
After prom down at the bowling lanes,  
 
Catchin' crappy fish in Eufaula lake,  
   Am   G     F             Fsus4 
I ain't in Checotah anymore.  
 
F C Fsus4 F   G   
         Oh Yeah... 
 
Chorus:  
                F 
I'm in a world so wide,  
                   C 
It makes me feel small sometimes,  
           Am             G 
I miss the big blue skies,  
          F 
The Oklahoma kind,  
       Am   G     F 
But I ain't in Checotah,  
      Am   G     F 
No I ain't in Checotah,  
              Am          G   F 
Oh, there's nothing like Oklahoma.  
        
       C 
Where 69 meets 40,  
                            
There's a single stoplight town
