[E]
The hoods are up on Pine Street, rear ends lifted too.
The great-grandsons of General Robert E.
Lee are making love with the little hell.
[F#m] In STP,
[G] [A] there are women on the porches comparing [E] alibis, greasy eggs and bacon.
Bumper stickers ain't a start of fight, folding racks and confederate caps.
If you want some shine, well, [D] you [E] can [F#m] always find some more.
[A] But what I remember most [G#m] [F#m] is the color [E] of Suzy's door.
And
[C#m] Suzy says [G#] she's up there, [A] cutting [E] carrots still.
And [B] Suzy says [Am] she's missing me, so [F#m] I'm missing Oregon
[E] Hill.
A river to the south to wash away all sins.
A college to the east for the woods.
The land where sin begins.
A graveyard [F#m] to the west of it all.
[A] [G#m] Which I [F#m] may soon [E] be aligning.
[Em]

[A] Which I've come to [D] call [E] my home.
[A] Love's a mountain forming, [D] an [E] old country song.

[C#m] And Suzy says [G#] she's up there, [A] cutting [E] carrots still.
And [B] Suzy says [Am] she's missing me, so [F#m] I'm missing Oregon [E] Hill.
[Em] [E] Sunday morning, 8am, sirens fill the air.
Sounds like someone made the river.
[A] Sounds [E] like someone being [F#m] born again.
[A] Me, yeah [G#m] I'm just lying [F#m] here.
[E] Let me see you again.
[A] Bath is [D] celebrating [E] with praises to the Lord.
[A] The rednecks doing it [E] with gin.
Me [A] and Suzy, we're [E] just celebrating.
The [B] joys of [E] sleeping.
Because [F#m] tomorrow, [G#m] [F#m] we'll be [E] home again.
[C#m] And Suzy says she's [G#] up there,

And [B] Suzy says [Am] always think of me [F#m] when you think of [E] Oregon.
