Dan Andriano has been one of my favorite song writers for a long time. I loved the album Hurricane Season as soon as I heard it and immediately started learning a handful of songs. "From This Oil Can" was one of my favorite songs. I never found a copy of the chords that I felt was just right, so I'm sharing how I play it. If you have suggestions or tweaks, I'd love to hear them. Post them in the comments!

Verse 1:
C F
See a long time ago I didn't care so much
Am
I kinda hated myself so much
F
I watched my head just fly away
C F
Out to a place where the sun doesn't shine so much
Am
But I loved my bed so much
F
'Cause while I'd sleep I'd seem okay
Interlude:
C* Am F C* Am F
I'd almost seem okay
Verse 2:
C F
And I lost my life on the first try
Am
But you found it miles down the line
F
A swollen face with all these names
C F
And then you kissed the taste back into my tongue
Am
Sucked the smoke out of my lungs
F
And then we slept for days and days
Chorus:
C Em F
Now from this oil can

Somehow, there grows an orchid

And all your leaves were born in ashes

Die in the sunlight
Interlude: C* Am F
Verse 3:
C F
Well a long time ago I didn't care too much
Am
But I love to drink so much
F
I let my heart just float away
C F
Out to a place where the songs they don't mean so much
Am
I could not feel your touch
F
Could not feel anything but pain
Chorus:
C Em F
But now from this oil can
C Em F
Somehow, there grows an orchid
C Am Em
And all your leaves were born in ashes
