Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu “Tulsa Time” dari Eric Clapton.
[Verse 1]
A
I left Oklahoma, Driving in a Pontiac
E7
Just about to lose my mind.
N.C.
I was going to Arizona, Maybe on to California
A
Where people all live so fine.
N.C.
My mother says I’m crazy, my baby calls me lazy
E7
But I’m gonna show them all this time
N.C.
’cause you know I ain’t no fool and I don’t need no more damn schoolin’
A
I was born to just walk the line.
[Chorus]
E7
Living on tulsa time, Living on tulsa time
N.C.
Gonna set my watch back to it
A
’cause you know that I’ve been through it, living on tulsa timeChorus
[Verse 2]
N.C.
So there I was in Hollywood, thinking I was doing good
E7
Talking on the telephone line
They don’t want me in the movies and nobody sings my songs,
A
My mama says my baby’s doing fine.
N.C.
So then I started winking, then I started thinking,
E7
That I really had a flash this time
N.C.
That I had no business leaving, and nobody would be grieving,
A
You see I’m on tulsa time.
[Chorus]
E7
Living on tulsa time, Living on tulsa time
N.C.
Gonna set my watch back to it
A
’cause you know that I’ve been through it, living on tulsa time
