                    The Midnight Oil
                 Sung by Barbara Mandrell    
                From the CD, Ultimate Collection---Barbara Mandrell
   
   I think this is one of the great cheating songs in country music. It was a hit
   single for Barbara Mandrell in 1973. As a bass player, I have indicated the walks to 
   the next chord. I use passing eighth notes before most of the chord changes. 
   They are E-F; A-Bb; B-C; F-F#; B-Bb; C-C#. Get the CD for feel and beat. 
 
   Intro: F                 Key: F then change to F#
  
       F                      
   That call was from the office 
         Bb                                   F
   And I guess I’ll have to burn the midnight oil again.
       F                                                               C (walk)    
   And hon’ you know how much the boss depends on me to lend a helping hand.
     F                             Bb                                F
   I watch him in the mirror, as I lie and tell him I don’t know how late I’ll be.
             F                    B C                                    F
   While I’m puttin’ on my makeup,   I’m puttin’ on the one that really loves me.
       F#                              B                                  F#
   The girls all got together and they called to see if I could have some fun tonight.
   F#                                                           C#  (Walk)
   But you know me, the only thing I do is go to work and watch tv.
     F#                            B                                 F#
   I watch him in the mirror, as I lie and tell him I don’t know how late I’ll be.
             F#                  C C#                                    F#  (walk)   
   While I’m puttin’ on my makeup,    I’m puttin’ on the one that really loves me.
                    Bb    B                           F#
   And tonight I’ll cheat again, and tomorrow I’ll be sorry.
       F#                                                                 C#  (walk)
   And I’ll feel kind of dirty ‘cause I’ll have the midnight oil all over me.
       F#                                  B                               F#
   God knows his dream would shatter if he knew the devil had me and won’t set me free.
             F#                  C C#                                   F#
   While I’m puttin’ on my makeup,   I’m puttin’ on the one that really loves me.
             F#                  C C#                                   F#      B F#
   While I’m puttin’ on my makeup,   I’m puttin’ on the one that really loves me.
 
   (on the "my makeup" lines, the B is an eighth note count in B-C. The C is an 
   eighth note count in C-C#.)
 
    The song is in the above keys on the CD. Here are the Nashville Numbers for other keys.
    Enjoy, Aloha!
