# Oregon Hill (M. Timmins/Cowboy Junkies) (from the album Black Eyed Man) Submitted by Steve Scowden (steve.scowden@sf.jwtworld.com) Corrections/improvements welcome. (I'm playing this song with a E- E6 -E7 riff through most of the verses. That is, an E, then an E with pinkie added on 2nd fret of 2nd string, then sliding my pinkie up to the 3rd fret. Of course, there may be better way.) E- E6 -E7 riff The hoods are up on Pine Street, rearends lifted, too The great-grandsons of General Robert E. Lee
