(I'm playing this song with a E- E6 -E7 riff through most of the verses. That is, an E, then an E with my pinkie added on 2nd fret of 2nd string, then sliding my pinkie up to the 3rd fret. Of course, there may be a better way.)
E- E6 -E7 riffThe hoods are up on Pine Street, rearends lifted, too
The great-grandsons of General Robert E. Lee F#m
are makin' love with a little help from STP
A E- E6 -E7Their women on the porches, comparin' alibis
(E- E6 -E7 riff)Greasy eggs & bacon, bumper stickers aimed to start a fight
Folk in wrecks, confederate caps, if you want some shine well
F#m F#m7you can always find some more
but what I remember most, is the color of Susie's door
C#m G# A EAnd Susie says she's up there, cutting carrots still
E B AmSusie says she's missing me
so I'm missing, Oregon Hill
(E- E6 -E7 riff)A river to the south, to wash away all sin
A college to the east of us, to learn where sin begins
F#m F#m7A graveyard to the west of it all
A E- E6 -E7The child may soon be lying in it
Cause to the north there is a prison,
A Ewhich I've come to call my home
A Ebut come Monday morning, no country song,
will sing me home again
Susie says she's up there, cutting carrots still
E B Am F#m E- E6 -E7Susie says she's missing me, so I'm missing, Oregon Hill
(E- E6 -E7 riff)Sunday morning, 8 a.m., sirens fill the air
Sounds like someone made the river
F#m F#m7Sounds like someone being born again
But me, I'm just lyin' here in Susie's bed
A EBaptists celebrating with praises to the lord
A ERednecks doin' it with gin
Me and Susie, we're just celebrating, the joys of sleepin' in,
F#m A E- E6 -E7because tomorrow, I'll be home again.
C#m G#Susie says she'll wait there,
cutting carrots by the window sill
E B AmSusie says always think of me,
F#m E- E6 -E7when you think of, Oregon Hill
