(I'm playing this song with a E- E6 -E7 riff through most of the verses. That is, an E, then an E with my pinkie added on 2nd fret of 2nd string, then sliding my pinkie up to the 3rd fret. Of course, there may be a better way.)
MI- MI6 -E7 riff
The hoods are up on Pine Street, rearends lifted, too
The great-grandsons of General Robert E. Lee F#m
are makin' love with a little help from STP
LA MI- MI6 -E7
Their women on the porches, comparin' alibis
(E- MI6 -E7 riff)
Greasy eggs & bacon, bumper stickers aimed to start a fight
Folk in wrecks, confederate caps, if you want some shine well
FA#m FA#m7
you can always find some more
LA MI- MI6 -E7
but what I remember most, is the color of Susie's door
DO#m SOL# LA MI
And Susie says she's up there, cutting carrots still
MI SI LAm
Susie says she's missing me
FA#m MI- MI6 -E7
so I'm missing, Oregon Hill
(E- MI6 -E7 riff)
A river to the south, to wash away all sin
A college to the east of us, to learn where sin begins
FA#m FA#m7
A graveyard to the west of it all
LA MI- MI6 -E7
The child may soon be lying in it
LA MI
Cause to the north there is a prison,
LA MI
which I've come to call my home
LA MI
but come Monday morning, no country song,
SI LA MI
will sing me home again
DO#m SOL# LA MI
Susie says she's up there, cutting carrots still
MI SI LAm FA#m MI- MI6 -E7
Susie says she's missing me, so I'm missing, Oregon Hill
(E- MI6 -E7 riff)
Sunday morning, 8 a.m., sirens fill the air
Sounds like someone made the river
FA#m FA#m7
Sounds like someone being born again
LA SOL#m FA#m MI- MI6 -E7
But me, I'm just lyin' here in Susie's bed
LA MI
Baptists celebrating with praises to the lord
LA MI
Rednecks doin' it with gin
LA MI SI LA MI
Me and Susie, we're just celebrating, the joys of sleepin' in,
FA#m LA MI- MI6 -E7
because tomorrow, I'll be home again.
DO#m SOL#
Susie says she'll wait there,
LA MI
cutting carrots by the window sill
MI SI LAm
Susie says always think of me,
FA#m MI- MI6 -E7
when you think of, Oregon Hill
