Crude Oil Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D][G][A][G]
[D]Wel[A]l now,[D]
listen people let me tell you some news
I'll sing a song called
the crude oil blues
We're low on heat 'n' all
We're low on gas
And I'm so cold I'm
about to freeze myself
[G]We got the crude oil blues
Cause the winter time sure gets cold
to the bottom of my [D]shoes
Well my [A]hands are shakin'
and my knees are weak
But it [G]ain't because of love
It's from lack [D]of heat[A]
I'm gonna tell [D]you a story
[A]about this [D]drunk I know
He kept his basement full
of homemade brew
But the winter got so bad it screwed
up the boy's thinkin'
He got so cold he had to
burn all his drinkin'
[G]He's got the crude oil blues
He said the wintertime can sure get
cold to the bottom of your [D]shoes
[G]He said, bur[A]nin' this booze
just destroys my soul
But there's [G]one thing about it honey
When you're cold, you're cold
I've got the crude oil blues
[D][A][D]
[G]
[D][A]
[G][D]
[G]Well, when [D]we made this record there
was a little bit of doubt
Whether or not the ting was
ever gonna come out
I said, "Hey chief, you reckon
this record will be released?"
He said, "Son, we ain't got enough oil
to keep the pressed greased"
[G]We got the crude oil blues
And son, if we can't make records
then we don't need [D]you
I said, "What [A]am I gonna do if I
can't sing and pick?"
He said, [G]"Well just keep yourself
warm playin' all them hot licks"
We got the crude oil [D]blues.[A][D]
Oh mama, don't forget to bring in
the brass [G]monkey[D]
And remember what Albert [G]Ein[A]stein [G]said "That
[D]coolin' is conducive to [A]cud[D]dlin'"
Honey I love ya but pass the duck [G]down
[D]Hey I read a sign on the pump at my
favorite [A]gas station the other day
It [G]said uh, [D]"He who expecteth
nothin' [A]ain't gonna [D]be deceived"
