Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  left Oklahoma, Driving in a pontiac
 Just about to lose my mind.
 I was going to Arizona, Maybe on to california
 Where people all live so fine.
 My mother says I’m crazy, my baby calls me lazy
 But I’m gonna show them all this time
 ’cause you know I ain’t no fool and i don’t need no more damn schoolin’
 I was born to just walk the line.
 Living on tulsa time, Living on tulsa time
 Gonna set my watch back to it
 ’cause you know that I’ve been through it, living on tulsa timeChorus
 So there I was in hollywood, thinking I was doing good
 Talking on the telephone line
 They don’t want me in the movies and nobody sings my songs,
 My mama says my baby’s doing fine.
 So then I started winking, then I started thinking,
 That I really had a flash this time
 That I had no business leaving, and nobody would be grieving,
 You see I’m on tulsa time.
 Living on tulsa time, Living on tulsa time
 Gonna set my watch back to it
 ’cause you know that I’ve been through it, living on tulsa time
