G   Gadd9  (x4)
[Verse]
G 
 A couple guys in first class on a flight from new York to Los Angeles 
Bm 
 Kinda making small talk killin time, flirtin with the flight attendants,  
C                          Am 
 Thirty thousand feet above, could be Oklahoma,  
G 
Just a bunch of square cornfields and wheat farms, man it all looks the same  
Bm 
 Miles and miles of back roads and highways,  
                                        C 
Connecting little towns with funny names,  
                             Am                    D 
Who'd want to live down there in the middle of nowhere,
[Chorus]
               Em                C 
They've never drove through Indiana,  
                  G 
Met the men who plowed that earth,  
                    D                  B7 
Planted that seed, busted his ass for you and me,  
             Em                C 
Or caught a harvest moon in Kansas,  
                    D                    C 
They'd understand why God made those fly over states
[Verse]
G                                                               Bm 
 I bet that mile long Santa Fe freight train engineer's seen it all 
                                                                  C 
Just like that flatbed cowboy stacking U.S. steel on a three day haul 
  
Road and rails under their feet 
Am                        D 
 Yeah that sounds like a first class seat
[Chorus]
         Em           C 
On the plains of Oklahoma  
             G 
With a windshield sunset in your eyes 
        D                B7 
Like a watercolor painted sky 
           Em                  C 
You'd think heavens doors have opened 
                    D                    C 
You'll understand why God made those fly over states
[Solo]
      Em        C         G       D  B7

[Chorus]
        Em               C       G 
Take a ride across the badlands feel that freedom on your face 
   D                B7 
Breathe in all that open space 
        Em           C                       D 
Meet a girl from Amarillo you'll understand why God made 
                  C                               G 
Might even want to plant your stakes in those fly over states
[Tab]
    Em              C            G              D

[Outro]
               Em               C     G     D  B7 
Have you ever been through Indiana, 
         Em           C     G     D 
On the plains of Oklahoma 
        Em     C     G     D 
Take a ride
