[Intro]

Em

[Verse]

Em G

They came from just a mile away

Am C

From just across the town today

Am C

And look at what they’ve got to say

B7 Em

Here in Tulsa Town

Em G

Well, they’re burning down the mercantile

Am C

Houses falling in a pile

Am C

I guess I’ll just watch a while

B7 Em

Here in Tulsa Town

[Chorus]

Am Em

Well, Tulsa town is burnin’ down

B7 Em

Ashes falling on the ground

Am C

If you build it up, they’ll break it down

B7 Em

Here in Tulsa Town

[Verse]

Em G

Yesterday we’d both agree

Am C

What’s this got to do with me?

Am C

If they’d just, sweet lord, let me be

B7 Em

Here in Tulsa Town

Em G

But they never listened to my plea

Am C

And tied me to this hanging tree

Am C

But that’s the way it goes you see

B7 Em

When they’re burning Tulsa down

[Chorus]

Am Em

Well, Tulsa town is burnin’ down

B7 Em

Ashes falling on the ground

Am C

If you build it up, they’ll break it down

B7 Em

Here in Tulsa Town

[Verse]

Em G

What the hell’d I do to you?

Am C

That made you do the things you do?

Am C

What question’s this the answer to?

B7 Em

Here in Tulsa Town

Em G

And what a view I have today

Am C

Watching as the willows sway

Am C

Cinders falling black and grey

B7 Em

Here in Tulsa Town

[Chorus]

Am Em

Well, Tulsa town is burnin’ down

B7 Em

Ashes falling on the ground

Am C

If you build it up, they’ll break it down

B7 Em

Here in Tulsa Town

[Interlude]

Em G Am C

Am C B7 Em

[Verse]

Em G

Now the story’s going round

Am C

That I brought these men to Tulsa Town

Am C

That I caused all this burning down

B7 Em

Here in Tulsa Town

Em G

Not a word of that is true

Am C

But what am I supposed to do

Am C

Hanging from this point of view?

B7 Em

Here in Tulsa Town

[Chorus]

Am Em

Well, Tulsa town is burnin’ down

B7 Em

Ashes falling on the ground

Am C

If you build it up, they’ll break it down

B7 Em

Here in Tulsa Town

[Verse]

Em G

But the fire grew wider than they meant it to

Am C

And burned their houses through and through

Am C

That’s what fires will tend to do

B7 Em

Here in Tulsa Town

Em G

And all the ashes look the same

Am C

Falling through the smoke and rain

Am C

Swirling down the city drain

B7 Em

Here in Tulsa Town

[Chorus]

Am Em

Well, Tulsa town is burnin’ down

B7 Em

Ashes falling on the ground

Am C

If you build it up, they’ll break it down

B7 Em

Here in Tulsa Town

Am Em

Well, Tulsa town is burnin’ down

B7 Em

Ashes falling on the ground

Am C

If you build it up, they’ll break it down

B7 Em

Here in Tulsa Town
