Chord Oklahoma Sky by Miranda Lambert

the whole thing is finger picked . it is in drop D tuning . please drop D when you do it otherwise my soul might cry . the key is D major , so for the electric guitars and the synths just diddle around . i Am far too lazy to tab each one . i’d suggest you build them around Dsus2 , Asus4 and Gmaj7 . for your first improvisation try to do nothing lower than D4 a normal open D string and higher than G5 3rd fret on E . of course there are exceptions to this , but hey , i’m just trying to tell you the proper chords , not trying to run your life . remember team , dynamics! and throw as many slides , pull offs and harmonics in there as you can! suggested chord shapes : D - 0002 xxg - 5 - 003 xa - xo222 xbm - x24432 E7 - 2201x0 for the D fingerpicking pattern , keep hitting your low D open on each beat . on the upbeat on your high D string it’s ascends by a tone two frets basically by each bar , then it does the 5 - 4 - 2 - 0 thing . listen and you’ll get it . don’t be afraid to use your G string which you should have your 2nd fret down on when appropriate! to mix it up after that point and before the next set of lyrics . and keep hitting both your D strings too , so you can go diddling with that G string yes , i totally meant to say that phrase exactly as i did . don’t limit yourself to two fingers while fingerpicking! use as many as you can . D how long has it taken me to find you A five hundred years , five hundred thousand miles G D it don’t matter now G D love’s always on time A meet me underneath the oklahoma sky D lightning flashed , everything went silent A a feather could have knocked me to the floor G D missing piece was found G D i was finally alive A D meet me underneath the oklahoma sky Bm A G with the speed of sound Bm A E7 D i’m homeward bound mhmm bridge chords : D A G D G D D A D just listen for the changes , but i purposely put that group of two d’s in there twice so you wouldn’t panic cause you didn’t change D all our sorrows swept away forever A each and every tear washed out to sea G D there ain’t no goodbye G D with your hand in mine A D meet me underneath the oklahoma sky A D oklahoma sky it stays as A D until the song is over . please use this opportunity to make it as epic as you can , but for my sake keep those alternating open d’s going . use all your fingers! and when you want to end it you can cheap out and just play your two d’s together . but if you wanna impress your friends , make it a fast arpeggio with a nice D or Dsus2 chord using all 5 fingers . you could do a couple of cool cadences . the most predicable one is A7 x02020 to D . if you want to go the cadence route but you don’t like predicability of it , do your A7 but throw in some F# - G and back again notes in there , then end it with A D the way that i’ve suggested you voice it throughout the tab . or you can slow down the main riff as you play it and end with a fully voiced D . or even bring the E7 back into it! yes , most of them sound cheesy , but if you’re lacking an extra 2 guitars and a string section you gotta make do sometimes . the main point is , i only made this tab because the chords in the other one didn’t have the correct bridge the Bm and E7 , they don’t stress the importance of drop d’ing and alternating the open d’s , and i have no idea where they got the idea to go to A Csus2 for the meet me under part of the chorus . i saw two 15 year old girls play covers on youtube which lack the two former , and included the latter . it made me slightly angry because such a beautiful song deserves much better .
