[Intro]
G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD
[Verse 1]
G+G
Ever since my little girl was 2 years old
C majorC
Been on a rig chasin that black gold
    G+G
And the times flew bye
          D MajorD
Brings a tear to a roughneck`s eye

 G+G
I do what I can to make ends meet
  C majorC                       G+G
Out there on the rig for those two weeks But when I get home...
         D MajorD
I see what I miss when I`m Gone

[Chorus]
       G+G       C majorC
`Cause I miss Birthdays and holidays too
G+G              C majorC
Their first words and First days of school
       G+G
Ya know it`s hard on them
         D MajorD
But it`s hard on me too

C majorC       G+G         C majorC
 Because these callused hands and big paychecks
G+G         C majorC
Won`t buy back the things I`ve missed
   G+G
But I know someday
       D MajorD
I`ll tell `em someway

     C majorC              G+G      C majorC
I missed half their life, to give `em one I never had
            D MajorD    G+G
It ain`t easy, bein` an Oilfield Dad

[Solo]
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC

[Verse 2]
 G+G
I count down the days while I`m gone
C majorC
She sends me pictures on the phone
G+G
Of her and the kids
         D MajorD
And their blowin me a kiss!

    G+G
I just put on my boots and get back to work
C majorC                      G+G
Covered in oil, blood, sweat and dirt and I think of them
      D MajorD
Untill I`m home again

 [Chorus]
       G+G       C majorC
`Cause I miss Birthdays and holidays too
G+G              C majorC
Their first words and First days of school
