A# Ever since my little girl was 2 years old D# Been on a rig chasin that black gold A# And the times flew bye F Brings a tear to a roughneck's eye A# I do what I can to make ends meet D# Out there on the rig for those two weeks But when A# I get home... F I see what I miss when I'm Gone Chorus: A# D# 'Cause I miss Birthdays and holidays too A# D# Their first words and First days of school A# Ya know it's hard on them F But it's hard on me too D# A# D# Because these callused hands and big paychecks A# D# Won't buy back the things I've missed A# But I know someday F I'll tell 'em someway D# A# I missed half their life, to give 'em one D# I never had F A# It ain't easy, bein' an Oilfield Dad I count down the days while I'm gone She sends me pictures on the phone Of her and the kids And they're blowin' me a kiss I just put on my boots and get back to work Covered in oil, blood, sweat, and dirt And I think of them Until I'm home again Chorus 'Cause I miss birthdays and holidays too Their first words and first days of school You know it's hard on them But it's hard on me too Yeah, these callused hands and big paychecks Won't buy back the things I've missed But I know someday I'll tell 'em some way That I missed half their life to give 'em one I never had It ain't easy bein' an oilfield dad It ain't easy bein' an oilfield dad F A# It ain't easy, bein' an Oilfield Dad You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  D#  F  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
