Oilfield Dad

G C G D G Ever since my little girl was 2 years old C Been on a rig chasin that black gold G And the times flew bye D Brings a tear to a roughneck's eye G I do what I can to make ends meet C G Out there on the rig for those two weeks But when I get home... D I see what I miss when I'm Gone G C 'Cause I miss Birthdays and holidays too G C Their first words and First days of school G Ya know it's hard on them D But it's hard on me too C G C Because these callused hands and big paychecks G C Won't buy back the things I've missed G But I know someday D I'll tell 'em someway C G C I missed half their life, to give 'em one I never had D G It ain't easy, bein' an Oilfield Dad G | C | G | C G I count down the days while I'm gone C She sends me pictures on the phone G Of her and the kids D And their blowin me a kiss! G I just put on my boots and get back to work C G Covered in oil, blood, sweat and dirt and I think of them D Untill I'm home again G C 'Cause I miss Birthdays and holidays too G C Their first words and First days of school G Ya know it's hard on them D But it's hard on me too C G C Because these callused hands and big paychecks G C Won't buy back the things I've missed G But I know someday D I'll tell 'em someway C G C I missed half their life, to give 'em one I never had D G It ain't easy, bein' an Oilfield Dad | C | G | C | G | C | D | G C I miss Birthdays and holidays too G C Their first words and First days of school G Ya know it's hard on them D But it's hard on me too C G C Because these callused hands and big paychecks G C Won't buy back the things I've missed G But I know someday D I'll tell 'em someway C G C I missed half their life, to give 'em one I never had G C It ain't easy, bein' an Oilfield Dad D G It ain't easy, bein' an Oilfield Dad G C G C G C G
