This is Dan Andriano’s ‘From This Oil Can’, the 10th track from his album;
‘Hurricane Season’. The song is more simple than it sounds, but Dan plays a couple
of embellishments on the C chord which sound confusing, these are basically going
to be a few hammer-on’s and a few hammer-off’s on the B and high E strings. I’m
sure you can work those out for yourself. Capo 3. Enjoy!
Intro: C Am F (Repeat x2)
See a long time ago I didn't care so much
Kinda hated myself so much,
I watched my head just fly away
Out to a place where the sun doesn't shine so much
But I loved my bed so much
Because while I'd sleep I'd seem okay
Interlude: Intro Chords x1
Intro Chords again:
I'd almost seem okay...
Verse 2:
Then I lost my life on the first try
But you found it miles down the line,
A swollen face with all these names
And then you kissed the taste back into my tongue
Sucked the smoke out of my lung
And then we slept for days and days
Chorus:
Now from this oil can
Somehow, there grows an orchid
Though your leaves were born in ashes
They will die in the sunlight
(Intro Chords)
Die in the sunlight
Link: (Intro Chords) C Am F
Verse 3:
Well a long time ago I didn't care too much
And I love to drink so much,
I let my heart just float away
Out to a place where the songs they don't mean so much
I could not feel your touch,
Could not feel anything but pain
Chorus:
Now from this oil can
Somehow, there grows an orchid
Though your leaves were born in ashes
They will die in the sunlight
(Intro Chords)
Die in the sunlight

Outro: (Repeat Ad Hoc)
Die in the sunlight
