Oklahoma - Kansas City Cifra

[Verse]
F                       Bb      Gm
I got to Kansas City on a Frid’y.
C                               F
By Sattidy I l’arned a thing or two.
F                               G       Gm
For up to then I didn’t have an idy
C                                       F
Of whut the modren world was comin’ to.
C               F               G               Am
I counted twenty gas buggies goin’ by theirsel’s
G7                              C
Almost ev’ry time I tuck a walk.
Em      C       F       G       Am
’Nen I put my ear to a Bell telephone,
        G                               C
And a strange womern started in to talk!
 
To You?
 
Whut next!
 
Yeah, what?
 
Whut next?
 
[Chorus]
C                               F
Ev’rythin’s up to date in Kansas City.
F                       A7              D7
They’ve gone about as fur as they c’n go!
G7                      C                       Dm
They went and built a skyscraper seven stories high—
C                       G7              C
About as high as a buildin’ orta grow.
              C                       F
Ev’rythin’s like a dream in Kansas City.
F                       A7              D7
It’s better than a magic-lantern show.
        G               C                               Dm
Y’ c’n turn the radiator on whenever you want some heat,
G7                      C                       Dm
With ev’ry kind o’ comfort ev’ry house is all complete,
 
Dm                                      C
You c’n walk to privies in the rain an’ never wet yer feet—
D       Gm7             A7              D7
They’ve gone about as fur as they c’n go!
 
 
Yes, sir!
        Gm7             C7              F
They’ve gone about as fur as they c’n go!
 
[Chorus]
        C
Ev’rythin’s up to date in Kansas City.
        F               A7              D7
They’ve gone about as fur as they c’n go!
        G               C               D       Dm
They got a big theayter they call a burleekew.
        C       G                       C7
Fer fifty cents you c’n see a dandy show.
F               C
One of the gals was fat and pink and pretty,
F                       A               D7
As round above as she was round below.
G7                              C                       D7
I could swear that she was padded from her shoulder to her heel,
        G7              C                                       Dm
And then she started dancing, and her dancing made me feel,
                D7              C
That every single thing she had was absolutely real—
D       Gm7             A7              D7
She went about as fur as she could go!
 
Yes,sir!
        Gm7             C7              F
She went about as fur as she could go!
