Tom Russell – Oil Field Girls chords

N.C.            F                  GmThose oil field girls all taste of whisky
                   Bb                    CThere thoughts are free there cloths are torn
              Am                 DmThey walk the strip like painted shadows
            Bb                 CCursing the night when man was born


                 Gm   C              FThere's one name Frida and one named Angel
                  Gm    Bb           CThere's a rose of hatred and ragtime gal
             Am                       DmAll legs and heart bright lips in the moonlight
               Bb                   CYoung man will die at the turn of a curl

               F                         GmI'm packing my bag I'm shipping out on a freighter
             Bb                  CI'll lick my wounds in a far off world
               Am                  DmOne hand on my heart one hand on a bottle
                 Bb                     CJust a drunker's dream of the oil field girls

                       Bb                   CHere's a round for the rouges all over this world
                    Am          DmBut I'll drink me a case of old peculiar
                 Bb                     CFor I raise me a glass to the oil field girls
