C F C Am X 2 

C                             F         Am 
WITH A PICK AND A SHOVEL, AN AXE AND A GUN 
       C                               F       C 
JUST A SWEATING LIKE THE GUILTY IN THE MID-DAY SUN 

OUT IN OKLAHOMA WHERE THE HARD WINDS BLOW 
SO I HEADED OUT WEST WHILE I WAS STILL YOUNG, YES I DID 

C F C Am X 2 

WELL I CROSSED THE PEDERNALES AND THE RIO GRANDE 
AND WHEN I REACHED THE COLORADO I DRUNK IT DOWN 
I WANNA COOL MY SOUL IN THAT BLUE BLUE SEA 
WANNA SEE THE MANZANEETA AND THE JOSHUA TREE 


[Refrão]
       F       C       Bb 
WELL A STAR IS SHINING BRIGHT 
       F              C          Bb 
IN THE NIGHT, IN THE CALIFORNIA SKY

C F C Am X 2 

DOWN BY THE WATER AND THE SYCAMORE TREES 
WHERE A CALIFORNIA GIRL MADE A MAN OUT OF ME 
COOL WATER RUNNING IS A BEAUTIFUL SOUND 
SO I TOOK HER BY THE HAND AND LAID SOME DEEP ROOTS DOWN 

WELL THE FOX AND THE COUGAR THE HAWK AND THE BEAR 
SAID "WE GOT PLENTY GOOD LEAD FOR YA'LL OUT HERE" 
WELL I COME FROM OKLAHOMA WHEN I WAS QUITE YOUNG 
WITH AN OLD PLOWIN' MULE AND MY DADDY'S GUN 

REPEAT CHORUS
