Capo: 2
song: Odessa Artist: Sam Baker tabbed by: CYGUITARS capo on 2nd fret, standard tuning. Enjoy!
CWhile we seek mirth and beauty and mFusic light and gaCy, There are frail forms faGinting at the doCor. CThough their voices are silent, their plFeading looks will sCay, Oh, hard times, cGome again no moCre.
CThere's the song, the sFigh of the weCary. Hard times, hard times, cGome again no morCe. CMany days you have lingered on aroFund my cabin doCor. Oh, hard times, coGme again no moCre.
[Verse 1]
CHe was an Odessa boy with a daddy in the money Fhe played for Mojo back in the boom Gdrove a Corvette took what he wanted from peoFple they learned to give him lots of rAmoom
[Chorus]
CWell he never learned to work Fbut that never really mattered Gbecause the dark crude flowed Amthe wild oats scattered Cthe dark, crude, it flowed GHe fought, he flattered Fand he got what he wanted Amit was the only thing that mattered
[Verse 2] Well life was easy and the big jacks pumped pooring cash from the permian field There were cabinets full of high grade scotch garage, full of high speed steel [Chorus] [Verse 3] Then he killed a girl when he rolled the Corvette Daddy's money made the lawyers go away his mother bought vodka with all that cash she kind of knew, yeah she kind of knew Well he's an old man now lives on his dead Daddy's place never took a wife, gunna die without a trace you see he loved the girl who was pinned in the 'vette he talkes to her everyday her face face was blood and diamonds he remembers her, that way. [Chorus] [Outro](same chords as Intro) There's a pale droopy maiden who toiled her life away With a worn heart, whose better days are o'er. Though her voice it would be merry, 'tis sighin' all the day, Oh, hard times, come again no more.
