B
I heard the train
E
In the Tulsa night
Calling out my name
B
Lookng for a fight
E
She's come a long long way
B
Got a longer way to go
A
So tell me how a train from Tulsa
B
Has got a right to know
B
Well she sings a song
E
So sad and high
And the Tulsa Queen
B
Don't ever lie
E
And she don't care where she goes
B
Don't care where she's been
A
And the Tulsa Queen ain't crying
B
Cause I won't see you again
E
And I want to ride
Like a Tulsa Queen
B
Calling out to you
Like she calls to me
A
As far away from Tulsa
B
As these ten wheels can be
SOLO
B
Lately I speak
E
Your name too loud
Each time it comes up
B
In a crowd
E
And I know it when I do
B
The Tulsa Queen and you
A B E B A B E B A B E B A B
Are gone
