If You're Ever In Oklahoma

This fun little country blues number goes like this for the main part:
A, C, D, A

To mimic the country V-I feel of the bass, you can play it like this for example (playing bass strings with thumb while muting them palm of the picking hand):
A...........C........D........A...........
----------------------------2-------------
--------2----------1--------3---------2---
--------2----------0------------------2---
---------------------0---0----------------
-0---0------3---3------0---0---0---0------
---0---0------3---3--------------0---0----

...and then D, A for this part:

And they don't [D]care about Dallas, [A]Texas
And they don't [D]care about Wichi[A]ta

Here's a great youtube cover of this song:
