TULSA TIME (LIVE VERSION) (ERIC CLAPTON)

INTRO:   G ----------

Well I left Oklahoma
Driving in a Pontiac
                                           D
Just about to lose my mind
I was going to Arizona
Maybe on to California
                                     G
People all living so fine

My momma called me crazy
My baby said I'm lazy
                                               D
Gonna show 'em all this time
Cause you know I ain't no fooling
I don't need no more damn school
                                          G
Want to just walk the line

  Living on Tulsa time
                                  D
  Living on Tulsa time
  Gonna set my watch back to it
  Cause you know that
  I've been through it
                                  G
  Living on Tulsa time

AD LIB:   G ---- D ---- G --
                  G ---- D ---- G ----

So there I was in Hollywood
Thinking I was doing good
                                                D
Talking on the telephone line
They don't want me in the movies
And nobody sings my songs
                                                      G
Mama says my baby's doing fine
So then I started thinking
And I got to winking
                                             D
I really had a flash this time
That I had no business leaving
And nobody would be grieving
                                         G
You see I'm on Tulsa time

  Living on Tulsa time
                                  D
  Living on Tulsa time
  Gonna set my watch back to it
  Cause you know that
  I've been through it
                                  G
  Living on Tulsa time...

  Living on Tulsa time
                                  D
  Living on Tulsa time
  Gonna set my watch back to it
  Cause you know that
  I've been through it
                                  G
  Living on Tulsa time...
