Verse 1:
  G+G              Cadd9Cadd9   G+G
The street light it flickers and quietly remembers
    E minor 7Em7  Cadd9Cadd9    G+G
Back to 45 the Friday night sounds
  G+G              Cadd9Cadd9    G+G
The coyotes are different, they moan in the distance
     E minor 7Em7    Cadd9Cadd9     G+G
And their cries cast spells on the town
    Cadd9Cadd9            G+G
But the boys from the rigs, they had paychecks to show
     E minor 7Em7      Cadd9Cadd9     G+G
They made money, they'll spend it like hell
   G+G           Cadd9Cadd9   G+G
They took their debt, their pain and regrets
     E minor 7Em7     Cadd9Cadd9   G+G
And they left them beneath that well

Chorus:
G+G     Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
Oil town, oil  town
     E minor 7Em7     Cadd9Cadd9   G+G
You have black gold beneath your ground
G+G     Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
Oil town, oil  town
      E minor 7Em7     Cadd9Cadd9     G+G
She's been waitin' but soon she'll be found

Instrumental:
|G+G |Cadd9Cadd9 G+G |E minor 7Em7 Cadd9Cadd9 |G+G | x2

Verse 2:
  G+G               Cadd9Cadd9     G+G
And Mary, she was restless, she'd heard of East Texas
    E minor 7Em7      Cadd9Cadd9   G+G
Of the pines and the roses out there
     G+G               Cadd9Cadd9    G+G
With the wind in her sails, she cursed Midland to hell
    E minor 7Em7   Cadd9Cadd9   G+G
And she ran from all of her cares
    Cadd9Cadd9            G+G
But the time passed her by like the dreams in her mind
     E minor 7Em7       Cadd9Cadd9   G+G
She got a letter from her mother one May
      G+G           Cadd9Cadd9     G+G
It said the boys of K-L (?), they just broke the shale
     E minor 7Em7    Cadd9Cadd9   G+G
To bring heaven to Midland to stay, oh

Chorus:
G+G     Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
Oil town, oil  town
     E minor 7Em7     Cadd9Cadd9   G+G
You have black gold beneath your ground
G+G     Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
Oil town, oil  town
      E minor 7Em7     Cadd9Cadd9     G+G
She's been waitin' but soon she'll be found

Instrumental:
|G+G |Cadd9Cadd9 G+G |E minor 7Em7 Cadd9Cadd9 |G+G | x2

Chorus:
G+G     Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
Oil town, oil  town
     E minor 7Em7     Cadd9Cadd9   G+G
You have black gold beneath your ground
G+G     Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
Oil town, oil  town
      E minor 7Em7     Cadd9Cadd9    G+G
She's been waitin' but soon she'll be

Chorus:
G+G     Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
Oil town, oil  town
     E minor 7Em7     Cadd9Cadd9   G+G
You have black gold beneath your ground
G+G     Cadd9Cadd9 G+G
Oil town, oil  town
      E minor 7Em7     Cadd9Cadd9    G+G
She's been waitin' but soon she'll be, soon she'll be found
