Gypsum Oil Field Fire chords by The Olivia Tremor Control

Simple version:

C Am G F

C        Am                  G                F
Surprise party for me in the noon day sun; we wasted the after
C     Am                     G                          F
By an old black pond, and my life's on the line, and my future is on us

G              Am              F
But out in the Gypsum fields a fire was started, they don't know how,
G        Am                F
But everything was burning down, down to the ground

C         Am                 G                   F
So when I opened the door to go outside to where I could see y'all,
C       Am               G                   F
I could see the glow for miles and miles and miles

G              Am              F
And out in the Gypsum fields a fire was started, they don't know how,
G        Am                F
But everything was burning down, down to the ground

C


Or, if you want to play something over those dissonant sections
where there are several layered guitar tracks playing weird notes,
you'll have to throw a capo on fret one to play the Emadd9 shape:
