Opal Chords by Dave Stamey

_ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
Opal lives [F#] in Opal [C#] Canyon, Opal lives [F#] in a trailer [C#] there,
Little gray trailer with a good sound sticker, Livin' out there in the desert air.
_ _ [G#] _ [C#] Little round Henry lives there with [G#] her, Lookin' for [F#] gold in the sagebrush [C#] hills,
Pickin' a shovel and a metal detector, Ain't [G#] never found none, probably [C#] never will.
_ _ [G#]
Ain't got [C#] nothin', don't need [G#] nothin', Everything's here [C#] in a circle of love,
Happiness found in an old [Gm] gray [C#] trailer, Sagebrush around them and the stars above.
A [G#] calico cat, a wanted hound dog, Sleepin' in the [C#] shade of a Joshua tree,
Most nights moonlight [A] fills the royal, _ [C#] Low [G#] hell mercy, ain't it good to be [C#] free?
_ _ Henry pokes through the washes in the canyons, [G#] Lookin' for [F#] gold in the [C#] desert heat,
Opal cooks beans on a coal-in-camp stove, Henry gets home, she's gonna rub his feet. _
[D#] _ Troubles and worries she's put behind her, Fussin' [F#] round the trailer in an old [C#] straw hat,
Got her magazines and her crossword puzzles, Wanted dog and a calico cat.
Ain't [D#m] got [C#] nothin', don't need [G#] nothin', Everything's [C#] here in a circle of love,
Happiness found in an old gray trailer, Sagebrush [G#] around them and the stars above.
A calico [C#] cat, a wanted hound dog, [G#] Sleepin' in the shade of a Joshua tree,
Most [A#m] nights moonlight fills [A] the royal, _ Low hell mercy, [G#] ain't it good [C#] to be free?
_ [G#] _
Opal used to be an [C#] uptown lady, _ [G#] Had a little bit of teeny-weeny waist and [C#] beehive hair,
_ [A#] _
[G#] Henry come and caught her in the [C#] tails of the desert,
[A#] _
[D#] And finally Opal said, [G#] Honey, let's go [A#] there.
[C#] Troubles and worries she's put behind her, Fussin' round the trailer in an old straw hat,
Got her magazines [A#m] and her [C#] crossword puzzles, Wanted dog [G#] and a calico cat.
Ain't got [C#] nothin', don't need nothin', Everything's here in a circle of love,
Happiness [F#] found in an [C] old gray trailer, Sagebrush [G#] around them and the stars above.
A calico cat, a wanted hound dog, Sleepin' in the [C#] shade of a Joshua tree,
Most nights [F#] moonlight [A] fills the royal, _ [C#] Low hell mercy, ain't it good to be free?
Low hell mercy, ain't it good to be free?
