Version 1[Intro] | D | D | G | G | [Verse 1] G C A Many years have come and gone, since I wandered from my home D G In those Oklahoma hills where I was born C A Many a page of life has turned, many a lesson I have learned D G And I feel that in those hills I still belong [Chorus] C Way down yonder in the Indian nation, ridin' a pony on the reservation D G In the Oklahoma hills where I was born C Way down yonder in the Indian nation, a cowboy's life is my occupation D G In the Oklahoma hills where I was born [Verse 2] C A7 As I sit here today many miles I am away D G From the place I rode my pony through the draw C A Where the oak and blackjack trees, kiss the playful prairie breeze D G In the Oklahoma hills where I was born [Chorus] C Way down yonder in the Indian nation, ridin' a pony on the reservation D G In the Oklahoma hills where I was born C Way down yonder in the Indian nation, a cowboy's life is my occupation D G In the Oklahoma hills where I was born [Interlude] | G | G | C | C | | D7 | D7 | G | G | | G | G | C | C | | D | D | G | G | [Verse 3] G C A7 As I turn life a page, to the land of the great old sage D G In the Oklahoma hills where I was born C A7 While the black oil rolls and flows and the snow white cotton grows D G In the Oklahoma hills where I was born [Chorus] C Way down yonder in the Indian nation, ridin' a pony on the reservation D G In the Oklahoma hills where I was born C Way down yonder in the Indian nation, a cowboy's life is my occupation D G In the Oklahoma hills where I was born
