[Part 1]
       G           D        A  D
On the 19th day of April in 1995,
      D                 D                G*      A*     D
there was the worst car bombing near two hundred people died.
   G        D       A             D
In Oklahoma City on Wednesday 9 o'clock,
     D                  D              A                 D
they struck the federal building, took out near half the block.
     G                 D                A                     D
They thought it was an earthquake, made trees and light poles bend,
    D                       D          A                D        D
and folks thought they were seeing the world come to an end.

[Part 2]
   G                 D        A                D
It blew the building open, it lay there like a wound,
D                 D      A             D
twisted pipes and wires, silent like a tomb.
           G                 D        A                  D
Yeah, they blew the building open and blew folks' lives apart,
D            D            A                  D
firefighters mumbling and wondering where to start.

[Part 3]
G                         D          A               D
  They rushed out some survivors but soon could only cry
    D                 D           A                 D
and place the dead in caskets and ask the dear Lord why.
G               D            A                 D
Prayers for the missing, for daughters and for sons,
D               D                    A            D
prayers for the souls of those who'd never hurt a one.

[Part 4]
G                 D          A              D
  Kevin Small was lucky: his clock needed repair,
   D            D               A                D
he overslept an hour, his three-year old son was spared.
    G            D          A               D
But for too many others the news was not so bright,
    D            D              A               D
one baby got her picture in the paper, then she died.

[Part 5]
    G            D                   A              D
The President he promised they'd pay dearly for the blast
    D              D                  A              D
and all across the country flags were flying at half mast.
G                    D             A                D
Shock soon turned to anger, "Who'd do this?" people said
    D           D             A                D
and everyone suspicious had a price upon their head.

[Interlude]
| G             | D             | A             | G             |
| D             |

[Part 6]
     G                   D         A              D
They thought it was some Arabs and folks began to scream:
      D              D             A               D
first tighten up the borders, then hang 'em from a tree.
     G                      D                A               D
This proves what we've been saying 'bout our fair and gentle land
D          D                 A       D
nobody who did this could be an American.

[Part 7]
    G       D          A                 D
The FBI got busy, some drawings and some names,
    D            D           A               D
and everyone was looking for someone else to blame.
     G           D      A              D
Some fifty hours later,   early Friday day,
     D                  D         A               D
they found the man they wanted in jail ten miles away.

[Part 8]
  G                 D          A                  D
A so-called right extremist, a patriot government foe,
   D           D            A               D
an expert on explosives and white as driven snow.
     G                D                  A            D
When people heard the news they found it hard to understand.
D                D        A                   D
How could such a murderer   come from our own land?

[Part 9]
         G                  D            A                 D
But when we build walls and borders from fear and hate and guns
    D             D             A               D
the hatred turns around and and strikes at everyone.
G               D           A                 D
Maybe now we'll understand,   maybe now we'll see:
D             D            A                  D
superpatriots   are seldom friends of you and me.

[Part 10]
        G                   D                A                     D
They're scared and weak and cowards and they think that with their guns.
    D                  D             A               D
The ones they're most afraid of will turn around and   run.
         G                 D              A              D
But when we stand strong together and let love enjoy its will
   D               D        A                      D
misfortune can't defeat us,   it makes us stronger   still.

[Ending)
            G           D        A  D
Like on the 19th day of April in 1995
  D           D            A                D
a day all Oklahoman will remember all their lives.

[Outro]

| G             | D             | A             | D             |
| G             | D             | D             | D             |
| D             ||
