VERSE 1:
Em B C7 Em (D)
he's been trying with limited success
Em B C7 Em (D)
to get this girl let him get into her dress
Em B C7 Em (D)
but every time he thinks he's getting close
G D Am C
she threatens death before he gets a chance
CHORUS:
G D Am C
and that's the way it is in Minnesota
G D Am C
that's the way it is in Oklahoma
G D Am C
that's the way it's been since protozoa
G D Am C
first climbed onto the shores of California
