Oil Town - Shane Smith and the Saints

Oil Town

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


Chorus 
G         Cadd9  G           E          Cadd9
Oil town, oil town, you have black gold beneath your 
G
ground
G         Cadd9 G             E        Cadd9
Oil town, oil town, shes been away but soon she'll be 
G
found


G                             Cadd9         G
Well Mary shes restless, shed heard of east texas
        E            Cadd9     G
Of the pines and the roses out there
    G                             Cadd9       G
The wind in her sails, she cursed midland to hell
     E        Cadd9      G
She ran from all of her ??kin??kids??
         Cadd9                     G
But the time passed her by like the dreams in her mind
          E               Cadd9      G
She got a letter from her mother one day
          G                   Cadd9          G
It said the boys from k-hill, just broke the shale
         E         Cadd9       G
To bring heaven to midland to stay
