Re: oil field trash

Another excellent piece of story telling through song. I cant wait for the lyrics to be writen up as I am not sure  of  what a couple of the words were, as they are ones I am not familiar with but I understood and enjoyed the whole song.

ords and words later ... maybe...

here ya go Peatle J. I going to say its the bad recording on my lap top here at work and not my Texas drawl for the reason you cant understand all the words.
for any one else not from the south a few definitions

oil field trash - person who makes their living working in the oil field
dooly - 3\4 ton to 1 ton pick up truck with  dual wheels on the rear axle
side by side -  2 to 4 seat all terrain vehicle usually pimped out with large  tires and stereo systems both of which are way to big, but hey cool as s**t
double wide - one big ass mobile home. two singles are slapped together and bam red neck mansion
ole lady -  wife ,girl friend, common law, the person who gets half of what's left
mill -  generally in the south means a paper or lumber mill easy to find just follow the smell

just three chords E7, A7, B7

well im staring at the bottom
the bottom of an empty glass
and im sitting on a bar stool
scratching my unemployed ass

well their cleaning house
and their taking out the oil field trash

well the oil field was booming
so I quit my job at the mill
I was living large
singing drill baby drill

but along came the crash
and now their taking out the oil field trash

well the good times were rolling
when the oil hit a hundred and ten
I was spending my money
like I thought it would never end

but along came the crash
now their taking out the oil field trash

well I lost my dooly,
I lost my side by side
and the ole lady left me
when they took my double wide

because their cleaning house
and their taking out the oil field trash

that's the end of my story
its sad but true
well I could have been a rich man
with all the money I blew

but along the crash
and now their taking out the oil field trash

yea their cleaning house
and their taking out the oil field trash

the C and G chords are not regular chords and I did not see them on the chord chart not sure what to call them

G             C
x  3       x   3
x  3       x   3
x           x
x           x   2
x  2       x   3
x  3       x

any way this is another one  I found in my note book from awhile back that was not completed. dusted it off added a few lines and here you go let me know what you think

(C)                  (G)
I see it written    on your face
(D)                                 (C)       (G)   
the tears you've cried they leave a trace
(C)                       (G)
loneliness I cannot   comprehend
(D)                               (C)      (G)
the tears I see could this be the end

now your nights are filled with emptiness
you needed strength I did not possess
so you sit and wonder what went wrong
while I pour my heart out in a song

(Em)         (A)     (D)           (G)
you go your way  and ill go mine
(Em)             (A)                    (D)
and all these tears we'll leave behind
(G)           (A)         (D)       (G)   
what a wonderful waste of time
(Em)                 (A)            (D)
you go your way and ill go mine
(G)                    (A)            (D)
you go your way and ill go mine

you watch and waiting for the storm to pass
how many times will this be the last
it finally comes the day you realize
it time to end all the long goodbyes

now I'm missing your sweet caress
the price I pay for sins I wont confess
an angels broken wing did not deter
you gave me love I did not deserve

(Em)         (A)     (D)           (G)
you go your way  and ill go mine
(Em)             (A)                    (D)
and all these tears we'll leave behind
(G)           (A)         (D)       (G)   
what a wonderful waste of time
(Em)                 (A)            (D)
you go your way and ill go mine
(G)                    (A)            (D)
you go your way and ill go mine

this came together after a friend of mine asked me to write about a evening we had drinking Moscow mules ( first and last time a drank them)

Bill you are  welcome to this one for you new years eve party if you like it

played with capo on second fret

E7                                      E7

well my daddy once told me when I as just a boy
E7                           E7
son I don't ask much I just got one rule
G                           A                             E7
what ever you do don't ride that Moscow mule
G                           A                            E7
what ever you do don't ride that Moscow mule

well my daddy died young and when I grew up
I forgot what he taught me and I broke that rule
when I left town I was riding on a Moscow mule
when I left town I was riding on a Moscow mule

well me and my buddies we was shooting pool
last thing I remember I fell off my stool
I got kicked in the head again by a Moscow mule
I got kicked in the head again by a Moscow mule

I sad hey bartender bring me one more round
give me something with a kick cause there is trouble going down
saddle it up and ill ride that Moscow mule
saddle it up and ill ride that Moscow mule

I dont want no Champaign it just wouldn't do
no girly man drink  no micro brew
all I want is one more Moscow mule
all I want is one more Moscow mule

I woke this morning I was sitting jail
old jailer looking at me he just shook his head
he said boy you better stay away from that Moscow mule
he said boy you better stop riding that Moscow mule

ok I am going to bend the ear of my musical friends, what do you do when you just don't feel like playing? do you ever go through periods like that? I force myself to pick up the guitar everyday just to keep my fingers in shape but it is just that forced and not really enjoyable. I know it will pass and I will get back into it, it always does I just never know how long it will take. I guess im just a fair weather guitar player.
