Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]All life we work but work is bore,
If life's for livin' what's livin' for?
She lives in a house that's near decay,
Built for the industrial [C]revolution,[D]
[G]But in her [Em]dreams she is
[D]far away, far [G]away

[Verse 2]
In Oklahoma [G]U.S.A.
With Shirley Jones and Gordon McRea,
As she buys her papers at
the cornershop,
She's walkin' on the surrey
with the fringe on [C]top,[Eb]
[D]Cos[G] in her[Em] dreams she is far[D]away,
[Eb]far away[G]

[Verse 3]
In Oklahoma [G]U.S.A.,
She [C]walks to work but she's
[G]still in a [D]daze,
She's [C]Rita [G]Hayworth or Doris [D]Day,
[Em]And Errol Flynn wants
[D]to take her away
[A][Bb][A]

[Verse 4]
[C]
To [D]Oklahoma [G]U.S.A.
All life we work but work is a bore,

[Outro 1]
If life's for livin', what's livin' for?
[G]
