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

Just had a listen to Moscow Mule, great rhythm to it and tells a story, great piece of work. I may be moving off thread a little here but I let things run. The next tune up was RESCUED.  Only one word to describe that. Stunning,  in my humble opinion an absolute classic. Mojo you are such a talented artist. Ps. Whats in a Moscow mule?

keep it real
I am told it is vodka and ginger beer, I do remember it was pretty tasty. like I said ive  only drank them on one occasion.
I truly appreciate your humble opinion. thanks for the compliment.

Well having posted songs on MySpace, sound cloud and our stage in the past linking them on Chordie. I can say there never seems to be a correlation between the number of views on Chordie and the plays or for that matter comments on Chordie.
I think this also true to if you take in the comments and plays on the host site itself.
I know I don't comment on everything I listen to so looking for logic in the numbers is probably looking for something that's not there.
That's my theory.

I think your right there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. i wonder if the entire song has to play on sound cloud or if someone starts to listen and moves on does it count as a play?

ok so I was looking at the tracks in my sound cloud noticed the number of plays on each track, some way more than others. I was not surprised at my most listened to track what surprised me was when I compared the number of times the track had been played to the number of views on chordae for the same track. most played track was 179 but only 315 views on chordae. most viewed on chordae was 1330 but only 42 plays on sound cloud after looking all of the tracks there was absolutely no correlation between views and how many times the track was played. this is the only place I post links to sound cloud so I just found that to be odd. any way just an observation

hope every one had a happy thanks giving .

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.

I'm a Pats fan, but that's still very funny. lol

Go Pats.   what a game....

you can scratch the bungles off that list thanks to the Texans, about the only team they seem to be able to beat
