Verse 1:
    G                            Cadd9     G
The street light it flickers and quietly remembers
        Em7    Cadd9        G
Back to 45 the Friday night sounds
    G                           Cadd9       G
The coyotes are different, they moan in the distance
          Em7        Cadd9         G
And their cries cast spells on the town
        Cadd9                        G
But the boys from the rigs, they had paychecks to show
          Em7            Cadd9         G
They made money, they'll spend it like hell
     G                      Cadd9      G
They took their debt, their pain and regrets
         Em7         Cadd9      G
And they left them beneath that well

Chorus:
G         Cadd9 G
Oil town, oil   town
         Em7          Cadd9      G
You have black gold beneath your ground
G         Cadd9 G
Oil town, oil   town
           Em7         Cadd9          G
She's been waitin' but soon she'll be found

Instrumental:
|G  |Cadd9  G  |Em7  Cadd9  |G  |  x2

Verse 2:
    G                             Cadd9         G
And Mary, she was restless, she'd heard of East Texas
       Em7           Cadd9     G
Of the pines and the roses out there
         G                             Cadd9       G
With the wind in her sails, she cursed Midland to hell
        Em7      Cadd9      G
And she ran from all of her cares
        Cadd9                       G
But the time passed her by like the dreams in her mind
          Em7             Cadd9      G
She got a letter from her mother one May
            G                     Cadd9          G
It said the boys of K-L (?), they just broke the shale
         Em7       Cadd9      G
To bring heaven to Midland to stay, oh

Chorus:
G         Cadd9 G
Oil town, oil   town
         Em7          Cadd9      G
You have black gold beneath your ground
G         Cadd9 G
Oil town, oil   town
           Em7         Cadd9          G
She's been waitin' but soon she'll be found

Instrumental:
|G  |Cadd9  G  |Em7  Cadd9  |G  |  x2

Chorus:
G         Cadd9 G
Oil town, oil   town
         Em7          Cadd9      G
You have black gold beneath your ground
G         Cadd9 G
Oil town, oil   town
           Em7         Cadd9        G
She's been waitin' but soon she'll be

Chorus:
G         Cadd9 G
Oil town, oil   town
         Em7          Cadd9      G
You have black gold beneath your ground
G         Cadd9 G
Oil town, oil   town
           Em7         Cadd9        G
She's been waitin' but soon she'll be, soon she'll be found
