Oregon

By: John Linnell

The chord progression is the same throughout the song. One possible way of playing it is tabbed below. The important part about these voicings is that the bass ascends chromatically. F Gbdim Gm Abdim F/A Bb G/B C Dbdim Dm Eb C/E -1-------3-------1-----------0----------------- -1---1---3---3---1---3---3---1---5---6---8---8- -2---2---3---4---2---3---0---0---6---7---8---5- -3---1---5---3---3---3---0---2---5---7---8---5- -3-------5-------0---1---2---3---4---5---6---7- -1---2---3---4--------------------------------- Note that only the bass notes are played during verses 1, 2, and between the last two choruses. F F#dim Gm G#dim Oregon is bad F/A Bb G/B C Stop it if you can C#dim Dm Here it comes Eb C/E Here it comes Now it's after you Flee to some place new Run away Run away From the penthouse To the prison To the humble pied-à-terre Are they taking up the cry? In the brothel In the castle On the crowded boulevard Do they sing the dreadful words? Oregon is bad Stop it if you can Here it comes Here it comes Oregon is bad Stop it if you can Run away Run away
