Far Away From Tulsa (outsiders The Musical) Tab uke di Themes

[Intro]
N.C.
Far away from Tulsa
 
Way outside of town
 
Where people can be people and nobody puts you down

                                 Bb
Just because they don't want you around

N.C.
It's far out in the country
 
Blue skies overhead
                               Eb                Cm
I've seen it in the movies and in the books I've read

     Eb                                 Bb
This place is real, it's not just in my head

     Gm        F        Eb
This town is a dead-end road

      Gm         F                  Ab         Eb
Let's leave this behind, let's just get up and go
 
 
[Verse 1]

Bb         F/A           Eb
Find a new place to call home

Bb         F            Ab      Eb
Make a new life we can call our own

Bb        F/A             Eb
Someplace where we can be free

Bb      F             Ab    Eb
Free to decide who we wanna be

Gm       F        Eb
It's all becoming clear

  Bb
A place with open spaces

 
The sounds of whip-poor-wills

  Eb
We could watch the sun set over golden rolling hills

                            Bb
A house with flowers on the windowsill
 
 
[Verse 2] [JOHNNY]
 
And you could read us stories
 
And outside in the yard
                              Eb
We'd have ourselves a garden, but we wouldn't work too hard

                                     Bb
And every night we'd stare up at the stars
 
 
[Verse 3] [PONYBOY & JOHNNY]

     Gm        F        Eb
This town is a dead-end road

      Gm         F                  Ab         Eb
Let's leave this behind, let's just get up and go

Bb         F/A           Eb
Find a new place to call home

Bb         F           Ab       Eb
Make a new life we can call our own

Bb              F/A        Eb
Someplace where we can be free

Bb      F/A            Ab     Eb
Free to decide who we wanna be

Gm       F        Eb
It's all becoming clear
 
 
[Verse 4] [JOHHNY]

Gm                             Bb
We'd sit around the fire after every day was through

     Eb                            D
We'd be each other's family, Pony, start this life anew
 
[PONYBOY]

Gm                               Bb
This could be a chance to have a place to rest your head

Eb                                 F
You'd wake up every morning in a big old feather bed

       Gm                                   Bb
Like a house I’ve read in Dickens where the walls are crumbling down

    Eb                                 F                       D
I'm tired of idly watching as we're inching towards the ground
 
    Gm                                         Bb
“Ponyboy, you're just a dreamer,” that's what both my brothers say

         Eb                               F
But it's all there for the taking, just a leap of faith away
 
I've got 
 
[Verse 5] [PONYBOY & ENSEMBLE]

Gm          Bb
Great expec-tations

Eb          F
Great expec-tations

Gm       F  Bb
Great expec-tations

Eb          F
Great expec-tations
 
 
[Outro] [PONYBOY & JOHNNY]

Gm       F        Eb
It's all becoming clear

Gm                   F        Ab Eb     Bb
There's no way we're going to find that here
