Oval Room by Blaze Foley is a moderately challenging guitar song played in the key of Am with a capo on the 3st fret. It uses the chords Am, Am7, E7, Asus2 and E. Use the transpose and diagram tools on this page to change the key, see each shape, or simplify the chords.
rd fet for Oval Room album/ (Thanks to Pat for figuring a lot of this one out)
to play along with the video that is on Youtube.
There are only two chords, but the fingerpicking is trickey and his Am uses pull-offs and hammer-ons to Am7, etc.
Am Am7 Am Am7
In his oval room, in his rockin' chair
E7 Am (there's an Asus2 in there as well)
He's the president, but I don't care
He's a business man, he got business ties
He got dollar signs in both his eyes
Got a big airplane, take him everywhere
Got his limousine, when he get there
Everywhere he goes, make the people mad
Makes the poor man beg, and the rich man glad
Am7 Am Am7 Am
He's the president, but I don't care
E
Ooh, Ooooooh, Ooh
At the factory, never been so slow
Got a big fourth down, ninety nine to go
And down on the farm, nothing growing there
But the debts they owe and their gray hair
In the desert sand, and the jungle deep
He thinks everything is his to keep
He's a real cowboy, with his makeup on
Talks to kings and queens on the telephone
He's the president, but I don't care
Ooh, Oooooh, Ooh
He's a movie star, if you stay up late
And he'll search your car, if you don't look straight
In his Oval Room, in his rockin' chair
He's the president, but I don't care
He's the president, but I don't care
Ooh, Oooooh, Ooh
He's the president, but I don't care
Ooh, Oooooh, Ooh
