CAPO-4th FRET (personal choice)

come in on a C.....

C5                         
I've been a grubbin on a little farm
         F5
on the flat and windy plains
            C5                                 G5
I've been listening to hungry cattle bawl
              C5
I'm gonna pack my wife and kids
              F5
I'm gonna hit that western road
              G5                                         C5
I'm gonna hit that Oregon Trail this coming fall


Chorus...

              F5                                          C5
I'm gonna hit that Oregon Trail this coming fall
F5                                          G5
hit that Oregon Trail this coming fall
              C5
Where the good rain falls a plenty 
           F5
and the crops and orchards grow
              G5                                         C5
I'm gonna hit that Oregon Trail this coming fall

(Using same chords....)

Well, my land is dry and cracklin' 
and my chickens they're a cacklin'
cause the dirt and dust is gettin in their crawl
they been layin flint rock eggs 
I had to bust em with a sledge
I'm gonna hit that Oregon Trail this coming fall 

Chorus...

Well, my hogs and pigs are squeelin'
They're a rockin and a reelin'
Cause there ain't no water to water in the draw
I'm gonna grab one by his tail
I'm gonna take that western trail
And we'll hit that Oregon Trail this coming fall

Now, my good old horse is boney
Yes he's dry and hungry too
You can see his ribs three-quarters of a mile
Throw my kids up on his back
and the day horse and the black(?)
And we'll hit that Oregon Trail this coming fall

Chorus...

Well my wife gets sort of ailin 
When that mean old dust is sailin
And she wishes for the days beyond recall
If the work there's in the future
in that north Pacific land
So we'll hit that Oregon Trail this coming fall

Chorus...
