Oil Field Girls chords by Tom Russell

N.C.            F                  Gm
Those oil field girls all taste of whisky

                   Bb                    C
There thoughts are free there cloths are torn

              Am                 Dm
They walk the strip like painted shadows

            Bb                 C
Cursing the night when man was born



                 Gm   C              F
There's one name Frida and one named Angel

                  Gm    Bb           C
There's a rose of hatred and ragtime gal

             Am                       Dm
All legs and heart bright lips in the moonlight

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


               F                         Gm
I'm packing my bag I'm shipping out on a freighter

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

               Am                  Dm
One hand on my heart one hand on a bottle

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


         F               Gm
Da da da dum de de de de de

         Bb          C
de de de do do do do de

         Am             Dm

         Bb             C

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

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

                    Am          Dm
But I'll drink me a case of old peculiar

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


                F                  Gm
Those oil field girls all taste of whisky

                   Bb                    C
There thoughts are free there cloths are torn

              Am                 Dm
They walk the strip like painted shadows

            Bb                 C
Cursing the night when man was born


         F              Gm
De de de de de do de de de

         Bb          C

         Am             Dm

         Bb          C
