JD McPherson - Oil In My Lamp (Live) chords
Start Jamming...
All right, folks, so we've got a little special number here.
We're big fans of, obviously, rhythm and blues and rock and roll stuff, but we're also big
fans of the music that came out of Jamaica in the early 1960s.
But I'm listening to the R&B that was floating down from Florida.
This is a tune by the Ska Kings called Oil in My [G] Lamp.
