Capo: 3
From: tbacus@onramp.net (Thomas P. Bacus) Here is a great Robert Earl Keen Jr. song off his A Bigger Piece of Sky Album Corpus Christi Bay by Robert Earl Keen Jr. Capo on 3rd fret
FI worked the rigs from three Ttil midnighFt F FOn the Corpus Christi BayF FIUd get off and drink Ttil Fdaylight FSleep the morninU Gaway GI had a plan to take my FwaFges FLeave the rigs behind for Fgood FBut that life it is conFtagious G GAnd it gets down in your blooFd
I lived in Corpus with my brother We were always on the run We were bad for one another But we were good at having fun We got stoned along the seawall We got drunk and rolled a car We knew the girls at every dancehall Had a tab at every bar Chorus:
FIf I could live my life all overG F FIt wouldnUt matter anywFay FTCause I never could stay sobeFr G GOn the Corpus Christi BayF
My brother had a wife and family You know he gave Tem a good home But his wife thought we were crazy And one day we found her gone We threw here clothes into the car trunk Her photographs her rosary We went to the pier and got drunk And threw it all into the sea CHORUS Now my brother lives in Houston He married for the second time He got a job with the union And itUs keeping him in line He came to Corpus just this weekend It was good to see him here He said he finally gave up drinkinU Then he ordered me a beer CHORUS (TWICE)
