| Oregon Hill Michael Timmins [E-E7-E6-E] The hoods are up on Pine Street, rear ends lifted too. The great-grandsons of General Robert E. Lee are makin’ love with a little help from STP. [F#m] Their [A] women on the porches, comparin’ alibis [E-E7-E6-E] Greasy eggs & bacon, bumper stickers aimed to start a fight, full gun racks, Confederate caps, if you want some ‘shine well, you can always [F#m] find some more, but [A] what I remember most, [G#m-F#m] is the colour of Suzy’s door [E-E7-E6-E] [C#m] And Suzy says she’s [G#] up there [A] cutting carrots [E] still. [E-B] Suzy says she’s [Am] missing me so [F#m] I’m missing [NC] Oregon Hill [E-E7-E6-E] A river to the south to wash away all sins. A college to the east of us to learn where sin begins. A graveyard to the [F#m] west of it all [A] which I may [G#m-F#m] soon be lying in. [E-E7-E6-E] ‘Cause to the [A] north there is a [E] prison which [A] I’ve come to call my home, [E] but come [A] Monday morning no [E] country song will [B-A] sing me home again. [E] And Suzy [C#m] says she’s [G#] up there [A] cutting carrots [E] still. [E-B] Susie says she’s [Am] missing me so [F#m] I’m missing [NC] Oregon Hill [E-E7-E6-E] Sunday morning, eight A.M., sirens fill the air. Sounds like someone made the river. Sounds like someone being born again. [F#m] But me, [A] I’m just lyin’ [G#m-F#m] here in Suzy’s bed [E-E7-E6-E] [A] Baptists celebrating with [E] praises to the Lord, [A] rednecks are doing it with [E] gin. Me and [A] Suzy, we’re just [E] celebrating the [B-A] joys of sleeping in [E] because [F#M] tomorrow [A] I’ll be home again. [E-E7-E6-E] [C#m] Suzy says she’ll [G#] wait there [A] cutting carrots by the window [E] sill. [E-B] Suzy says, [Am] always think of me [F#m] when you think of [NC] Oregon Hill [E-E7-E6-E] Tabbed by Steve Scowden (steve.scowden@sf.jwtworld.com) bbkim’s note: E-E7-E6-E = each chord form gets approximately 2 beats (1-&…) which makes a full bar. |
