Intro: D 

verse 1 

D                                      G 
I woke up from a dream, just the other day 
D                                 C 
Dreamin' bout a part of me that's so far away 
D 
My sweet home a waitin' for me 
                G           D 
Waitin' with a smile, it's just right down the 
           C    G 
interstate 1800 miles

G                 C 
Oooh Arkansas you know I'm not the only one 
G              C 
Oooh Arkansas I'm your son 
G                 C 
Oooh Arkansas You know I'm not the only one 
G                      D 
Oooh Arkansas I'm your son

verse 2 

D                                             G 
Now California entices me and I'm her biggest fan 
D                               C          G 
But Arkansas knows me like the back of her hand 
D                                            G 
When I get weary about to fall right where I stand 
D                                    C        G 
Well I just buy a ticket Lord to the promise land

Oooh Arkansas I'm your son 
G                 C          
Oooh Arkansas You know I'm not the only one

verse 3 

D                                      G 
From Hope to Eldarado, West Memphis to Conway 
D                       C             G 
Such a beautiful vision every night I pray 
D                                           G 
To her sweet spirit follows me, follows me everywhere 
D                        C                G 
And when I need her Lord she'll always be there
