Oregon Hill Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]The hoods are up on Pine Street,
Rear ends lifted too
The great-grandsons of of
General Robert E. Lee
Are making love with a little help
[Em]from [Asus4]STP[Em]
Their [G]women on the porches
comparing alibis
[D]

[Verse 2]
Greasy eggs and bacon,
Bumper stickers aimed to start a fight,
Full gun racks, Confederate caps,
If you want some 'shine
Well, you can al[Em]ways find some more,
[G]But what I remember mos[F#m]t
[G]is the color [D]of Suzy's door

[Verse 3]
[Bm]And Suzy says she's up t[F#]here[G]
Cutting carrots [D]still
And Suzy [A]says she's [Gm]missing me
[G]So [Em]I'm missing Oregon Hill
[D]

[Verse 4]
A river to the south
To wash away all sins
A college to the east of us
To learn where sin begins
A graveyard to the [Em]west of
[Asus4]it all[G][Em][G]
Which [F#m]I may soon[G] be lyin[D]g in

[Verse 5]
'Cause to the [G]north there is a [D]prison
Which [G]I've come to call my [D]home,
But some [G]Monday morning
no [D]country song
[A]Will sing me [G]home [D]again

[Verse 6]
[Bm]And Suzy says she's up t[F#]here[G]
Cutting carrots [D]still
And Suzy [A]says she's [Gm]missing me
So [G]I'm [Em]missing Oregon Hill
[D]

[Verse 7]
Sunday morning, eight A.M.,
Sirens fill the air
Sounds like someone made the river
Sounds like someone being
[Em]born [G]aga[Em]in
[G]Me, I'm just [F#m]lying [G]here
[D]in Suzy's bed

[Verse 8]
[G]Baptists celebrating with [D]praises to the Lord,
[G]
Rednecks doing it with [D]gin
Me and [G]Suzy, we're [D]celebrating
The [A]joy of [G]sleeping [D]in
Because to[Em]morrow[F#m]
[Em]I'll be [D]home again

[Verse 9]
[Bm]But Suzy says she'll wait [F#]ther[G]e
Cutting carrots by the window [D]sill
And Suzy [A]says, 'Al[Gm]ways think of me
[G]When [Em]you think of Oregon Hill'

[Outro 1]
