Capo: 2
I noticed no-one has put up this song yet so I went ahead and put it up Enjoy. - Camper Ethan Capo 2nd INTRO: BM D A G
BMTook my first breath where the muddy Brazos Dspills into the gulf of Mexico
where the Askylines covered my chemical plants that put Gbread on the table of a workin man
well the BMworkin man does his best to provide Dsafety and shelter for kids and a wife
Agiven a little of his soul everyday G (strum once and let ring) makin overtime to keep the wolves away
*after "away" he plays e------------------| D-------------0----| G----------0-------| D-----0------------| A--2---------------| E------------------| BM D A G (instrumental chorus with whistling)
BMWell I was barely thirteen when the company man DTried to dig my daddy's grave
IAt happened on a French owned tanker ship SGpillin' poison into Galveston Bay
BMThe liquid fire filled his lungs and his eyes DSilenced, any moans or cries
CAold and the Grit, the damn stinkin pain G (strum once and let ring) but he fought like hell to keep the wolves away.
*insrtumental chorus same as before For the next few years dad was sick as a dog but he made a recovery just to spite the odds. Settlement came and we moved out of town where the sky isn't heavy with refinery clouds. Yeah he's still alive he's doing good he's in his fifties but the money's runnin out and he's pinchin pennies so I'm going for broke with every song I play, cause now it's my turn to keep the wolves away.
