Notes: This melody was played by Ed Chastain in SW Oklahoma in the early 1900's. Only the melody was captured on manuscript and so I added a chord structure that is probably more detailed than the original. There are several tunes entitled "Oklahoma Waltz" (e.g. Spade Cooley, 1947; Johnny Bond, 1948; etc.). This is an early instrumental version.
