Roughneck Code

Capo: 4th fret

[Intro]
Em G D 
(x2)
 
[Verse 1]
Em                     G
Well I left behind the wife and kids
     D                    A
This oilfield money ain't easy to get
          Em         G          D
You gotta suck it up and get it done
      Em            G           D              A
And I know that the road I'm on probably don't swing by home
        Em                 G                    D
But I'm passin' down these callused hands to my son
 
 
[Chorus]
             Em                  G
Cause in the drivin' rain or the spittin' snow
       D                      A
In the blisterin' heat or the bitter cold
Em        G                  D
Poppin' a top right down the road
Em              G
Workin' days or workin' nights
D                     A
Tryna keep it turnin' to the right
Em         G                     D
I got your back brother don't ya know
                     Em G D
That's the roughneck code
                     Em G D
That's the roughneck code
 
 
[Verse 2]
     Em      G
I've seen my share of pain
       D              A
Picked up a few scars along the way
    Em        G        D
But I wear em all with pride
  Em                               G
I met some good ol' boys that were damn good hands
       D                  A
Took a lot of learnin' to get where I am
  Em               G     D
I hope they're all doin' alright
 
 
[Chorus]
                     Em                   G
Cause we've seen the drivin' rain and the spittin' snow
       D                      A
In the blisterin' heat or the bitter cold
Em        G                  D
Poppin' a top right down the road
Em                      G
Work long hard days and long nights
D                     A
Tryna keep it turnin' to the right
Em         G                     D
I got your back brother don't ya know
                           Em G D
Cause that's the roughneck code
 
 
[Chorus]
                    Em               G
Cause I've seen the drivin' rain the spittin' snow
    D                       A
The blisterin' heat and the bitter cold
Em        G                  D
Poppin' a top right down the road
Em            G
Workin' days, workin' nights
D                   A
Turnin' this sucker to the right
Em         G                     D
I got your back brother don't ya know
Em         G                     D
I got your back brother don't ya know
                     Em G D
That's the roughneck code
                     Em G D
That's the roughneck code
          Em G D Em
