Oil Field Girls chords by Tom Russell

Chords with lyrics

N.C.      FF         G minorGm
Those oil field girls all taste of whisky

          Bb majorBb          C majorC
There thoughts are free there cloths are torn

       A minorAm         DmDm
They walk the strip like painted shadows

      Bb majorBb         C majorC
Cursing the night when man was born


         G minorGm  C majorC       FF
There's one name Frida and one named Angel

         G minorGm  Bb majorBb      C majorC
There's a rose of hatred and ragtime gal

       A minorAm            DmDm
All legs and heart bright lips in the moonlight

        Bb majorBb          C majorC
Young man will die at the turn of a curl

        FF             G minorGm
I'm packing my bag I'm shipping out on a freighter

       Bb majorBb         C majorC
I'll lick my wounds in a far off world

        A minorAm         DmDm
One hand on my heart one hand on a bottle

         Bb majorBb           C majorC
Just a drunker's dream of the oil field girls


     FF        G minorGm
Da da da dum de de de de de

     Bb majorBb     C majorC

     A minorAm       DmDm

Here's a round for the priest here's a round for the begger

            Bb majorBb          C majorC
Here's a round for the rouges all over this world

          A minorAm     DmDm
But I'll drink me a case of old peculiar

         Bb majorBb           C majorC
For I raise me a glass to the oil field girls


        FF         G minorGm
Those oil field girls all taste of whisky

          Bb majorBb          C majorC
There thoughts are free there cloths are torn

       A minorAm         DmDm
They walk the strip like painted shadows

Cursing the night when man was born
