Strum
D-DU-UDU
 2x
  Suitcase  packed with all  his things
 Car pulls up, the doorbell  rings
  He don't  want to go
  He thought he'd found  his home
  But with circumstances he  can't change
 Waves goodbye as they  pull away
  From the  life he's known
  A --
  For the last seven months or so
  G --
  She said we found the man who looks like you
  F--
  Who cried and said he never knew
  About  the boy in pictures  that we showed him
  G --
  A rambler in his younger days
  F--
  He knew he made a few mistakes
  But he swore  he would have been  there
  Had he known  it
  -intro
  Son we think we found your dad in Oklahoma
  A million  thoughts raced through  his mind
 What's his name, what's  he like and will  he be
  Anything like the man  in his dreams
  She could see  the questions in  his eyes
 Whispered "don't be scared  my child
  G A --
  I'll let you know, what we know
  G --
  About the man we found, he looks like you
  F--
  And cried and said he never knew
  About  the boy in pictures  that we showed  him
  A rambler  in his younger days He knew  he'd made a few mistakes
  But he swore  he would've been  there Had he known  it
  You always said  that this was something  that you wanted
  Son it's time  to meet  your Dad  in Oklahoma
  Em --
  One last turn he held his breath
  Bm --
  'Til they reached the fifth house on the left
  And all  at once the tears came rolling  in
  Em --
  And as they pulled into the drive
  Bm --
  A man was waiting there outside
  Who wiped  the worry from his eyes Smiled  and took his hand
  G --
  And he said I'm the man who looks like you
  F--
  Who cried because I never knew
  About  that boy in pictures  that they showed  me
  G -- F--
  A rambler in my younger days I knew I made a few mistakes
  But I swear  I would have been  there had I known  it
  Never  again will you ever  be alone
  Son welcome to  your home  in Oklahoma
