Lyrics and Chords


[Oklahoma!]

[ Gdim7 = xx2323 ; Ebdim7 = xx1212 ; Ddim7 = xx0101 ]

Why do they think of stories that link my name with yours
Why do the neighbors chatter all day behind their doors
I know a way to prove what they say is quite untrue
Here is the gist, a practical list of don'ts for you

/ G - - Am7 D9 - Am D7 / G - - Am D9 D7 - - / 
   / G B7 Em A7 Fmaj7 Dm D7 - / G - Gm Gdim7 D D7 G G7 /

Don't throw bouquets at me
Don't please my folks too much
Don't laugh at my jokes too much
People will say we're in love

/ C - - - - - - - / - - - - G7 - - - / C - - - D9 - - - /
   / Dm7 - Ddim7 - C - Gdim7 G7 /

Don't sigh and gaze at me
Your sighs are so like mine
Your eyes mustn't glow like mine
People will say we're in love

... / Dm7 - G7 - C - - - /

Don't start collecting things
Give me my rose and my glove
Sweetheart, they're suspecting things
People will say we're in love

/ Cm7 - F7 - Bb - - - / Dm6 E7 A7 - D7 - Dm7 Ebdim7 /
   / C - - - Am7 D7 - - / C - G7 - C Am Dm7 - /

Some people claim that you are to blame as much as I
Why do you take the trouble to bake my favorite pie
Granting your wish I carved our initials on a tree
Just keep a slice of all the advice you give so free

Don't praise my charm too much
Don't look so vain with me
Don't stand in the rain with me
People will say we're in love

Don't take my arm so much
Don't keep your hand in mine
Your hand feels so grand in mine
People will say we're in love

Don't dance all night with me
'Til the stars fade from above
They'll see it's alright with me
People will say we're in love

... / C - G7 - C - - - /
