Oregon Hill

E- E6 -E7 riff
The hoods are up on Pine Street, 
rearends lifted, too
The great-grandsons of General 
Robert E. Lee

are makin' love with a little help 
                             F#m
from STP

               A           
Their women on the porches, 
comparin' alibis
 E- E6 -E7


(E- E6 -E7 riff)
Greasy eggs & bacon, bumper 
stickers aimed to start a fight
Full gun racks, confederate caps, if
 you want some shine well
 you can always find some more
 F#m   F#m7


               A                
but what I remember most, is the 
color of Susie's door
       E- E6 -E7


          C#m                
And Susie says she's up there, 
G#                  A            
cutting carrots still
              E


E        B                       
Susie says she's missing me
   Am


     F#m                           
so I'm missing, Oregon Hill
E- E6 -E7


(E- E6 -E7 riff)
A river to the south, to wash away 
all sin
Continues after the ad
Remove ads
A college to the east of us, to 
learn where sin begins

A graveyard to the west of it all
F#m      F#m7


             A                     
The child may soon be lying in it
           E- E6 -E7


                      A      
Cause to the north there is a 
                             E
prison,

               A                   
which I've come to call my home
        E


                       A           
but come Monday morning, no country
                       E
 song,

             B           A        E
will sing me home again


   C#m                G#           
Susie says she's up there, cutting 
A                  E
carrots still

E        B                   Am 
Susie says she's missing me, so 
              F#m                  
I'm missing, Oregon Hill
    E- E6 -E7


(E- E6 -E7 riff)
Sunday morning, 8 a.m., sirens fill 
the air
Sounds like someone made the river
Sounds like someone being born again
                  F#m  F#m7


       A               G#m   
But me, I'm just lyin' here in 
   F#m         E- E6 -E7
Susie's bed

              A                    
Baptists celebrating with praises 
           E
to the lord

    A                           E
Rednecks doin' it with gin

              A         
Me and Susie, we're just 
                            E    
celebrating, the joys of sleepin' 
    B        A       E
in,

              F#m              
because tomorrow,  I'll be home 
A            E- E6 -E7
again.

   C#m                    G#
Susie says she'll wait there,

            A                      
cutting carrots by the window sill
             E


E        B                       Am
Susie says always think of me,

         F#m                       
when you think of,  Oregon Hill
