Lyrics and Chords


[Oklahoma!]

[ Fdim7 = xx0101 ; Fm6 = xx0111 ]

Why should a woman who is healthy and strong
Blubber like a baby if her man goes away
Weeping and a-wailing how he's done her wrong
That's one thing you'll never hear me say

/ C - - - / - - Dm7 G7 / C - - F / C CF CG7 C /

Never going to think that the man I lose
Is the only man among men
I'll snap my fingers to show I don't care
I'll buy me a brand new dress to wear
I'll scrub my neck and I'll brush my hair
And start all over again

/ Cm Gm Cm Gm / A7 - Dm - / Fm6 C Fm6 C / /
   / D7 G7 D7 G7 / - - C - /

{Refrain}
Many a new face will please my eye
Many a new love will find me
Never 've I once looked back to sigh 
Over the romance behind me
Many a new day will dawn before I do

/ C FC F D7 / G G7 C - / 1st / G G7 A7 - / 
   / Dm7 - G7 - C - - - /

Many a light lad may kiss and fly
A kiss gone by is bygone
Never 've I asked an August sky
Where has last July gone

/ G - C A7 / D B7 Em Fdim7 / A7 D7 G C / A7 - D7 G7 /

Never 've I wandered through the rye
Wondering where has some guy gone
Many a new day will dawn before I do

/ C FC F D7 / G G7 A7 - / Dm7 - G7 - C - G7 - /

{Refrain}

Never have I chased the honey bee
Who carelessly cajoled me
Somebody else just as sweet as he
Cheered me and consoled me

/ G - C A7 / D B7 Em Fdim7 / A7 D7 G C / A7 - D7 G7 /

Never have I wept into my tea
Over the deal someone doled me
Many a new day will dawn
Many a red sun will set
Many a blue moon will shine before I do

/ C FC F D7 / G G7 A7 - / Dm7 - G7 - / E7 - Am - / 
   / F C Dm7 G7 C - F - C G7 C - /
