                             I Was Born In Omaha by The Gloria Record
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Ad*Astra

Tuning: Standard

I use two different G chords throughout the song. For the verses I use the open 320003 
the two progression changes when it switches to G-Bm-A or the outro Bm-A-G, I use
barre chord 355433. I put an asterisk where to use the barre chord.


D                  G
  I was born in Omaha
                      Bm
In my mother's tired arms
                          A
After all our fight was gone
                              D
I bet it felt good just to lie there
                       G
Drinking in the warm light
                           Bm
And breathing through the tubes
                          A                    G
As our lovers filled the room with conversation

G

D                        G
  I was named to bear you like
                Bm
A float in a parade
              A                  D
My piano fingers tugging at the cord
                  G
And so much extra skin
                           Bm
That I still can't fill it in
                           A
Wonder whose it could have been
                               G*
'Cause it don't fit me comfortably
                      Bm
And the nurses stopping in
                    A
To see that you are fine
G*               Bm
   To open up the blinds
                    A
And shower you with sunshine

D                  G
  I was born in Omaha
                          Bm
Born to steal her skeptic heart
              A                   D
My piano fingers tugging at the cord
                        G
'Cause life in a bubble can be
                   Bm
The sweetest thing sometimes
                            A
With the world just passing by
                   G
Outside your window
