[Verse 1]
N.C. Em D Em
Well, towards the border of the northeast corner of Oklahoma lives a native girl
Em D D *
Spends her days in Delaware County but she wants to see the oceans for the pearl
Em D Em
Never had two nickels to rub together, all she knew was how to work
Em D Em
So she's singin' for some change in a guitar case to pull herself out of the dirt
[Chorus]
Em C Em
She sings I love this place but it ain't my home
G D
I belong where people hear my songs and sing along
C Em
And I hate to lеave but I've got to go
G D* Em
I was meant for morе than missin' cowboys where the red fern grows
[Verse 2]
Em D Em
Pretty soon those dreams that she'd been dreamin' didn't seem so out of reach
D Em
So she switched from change and checks to playin' shows, word out on the street
Em D Em
Met a drummer in a red dirt band, Tahlequah who swore he'd make her shine
Em D* Em
So she ran off to the city, left the boy she loved and her family behind
[Chorus]
Em C Em
She sings I love this place but it ain't my home
G D
I belong where people hear my songs and sing along
C Em
And I hate to lеave but I've got to go
G D* Em
I was meant for morе than missin' cowboys where the red fern grows
[Verse 3]
Am Em
Days turn into months and all the months turn into years
G D
Streets turn to stadiums and silence turns to cheers
Am Em
Them Oklahoma hills ain't ever stopped cryin' out her name
C D
If you listen close you can hear her sing
[Chorus]
Em C Em
She sings I love this place but it ain't my home
G D
I belong where people hear my songs and sing along
C Em
And I hate to lеave but I've got to go
G D* Em
I was meant for morе than missin' cowboys where the red fern grows
[Outro]
Em D Em
Towards the border of the northeast corner of Oklahoma lives a native girl
