****************** OMAHA *****************
written by Billy Joe Shaver and Hillman Hall
performed by Waylon Jennings
Capo on the 2nd fret
Chorus:
G A D G A D G
Omaha you've been weighing heavy on my mind
A D
I guess I never really left at all
G A D G
I'm turning all those roads I've walked around the other way
A D
And coming back to you, Omaha
Verse 1:
G A D G
Omaha, Nebraska wasn't good enough for me
A D
I always thought I was the roamin' kind
G A D G
With a pocket full of dreams and my one shirt on my back
A
I left there looking for some things to find
Verse 2:
G A D G
Rode my thumb to San Francisco, I worked down by the bay
A D
Got some schoolin' paid for by the law
G A D G
The hardest thing I learned was there ain't no easy way
A
To get ahead behind those county walls
Verse 3:
G A D G
So it's so long California, I reckon' I'll be moving on
A D
I'm leaving even if I had to crawl
G A D G
I got some loose ends around that I left undone
A D
Waiting there for me in Omaha
Chorus
