Paroles

[Intro]
G
I worked the rigs from
         C  G
Three to midnight

[Verse 1]
                      C
On the Corpus Christi bay
                           G
I'd get off and drink 'til daylight
                   D
Sleep the morning away
                        C G
I had a plan to take my wages
                          C
Leave the rigs behind for good
                        G
But that life, it is contagious
D                         G
 And it gets down in your blood
                          C  G
I lived in Corpus with my brother

[Verse 2]
                      C
We were always on the run
                     G
We were bad for one another
                           D
But we were good at having fun
                        C  G
We got stoned along the seawall
                          C
We got drunk and rolled a car
                           G
We knew the girls at every dancehall
D                   G
 Had a tab at every bar
                            D
If I could live my life all over

[Chorus]
C                         G
 It wouldn't matter anyway
                          C
'Cause I never could stay sober
D                      G
 On the Corpus Christi bay
                          C   G
My brother had a wife and family

[Verse 3]
                            C
You know he gave 'em a good home
                             G
But his wife thought we were crazy
                         D
And one day we found her gone
                              C   G
We threw her clothes into the car trunk
                         C
Her photographs, her rosary
                        G
We went to the pier and got drunk
D                          G
 And threw it all into the sea
                            D
If I could live my life all over

[Chorus]
C                         G
 It wouldn't matter anyway
                          C
'Cause I never could stay sober
D                      G
 On the Corpus Christi bay

                        C   G
Now my brother lives in Houston

[Verse 4]
                          C
He married for the second time
                           G
He got a good job with the union
                        D
And it's keeping him in line
                            C   G
He came to Corpus just this weekend
                       C
It was good to see him here
                           G
He said he finally gave up drinking
D                     G
 Then he ordered me a beer
                            D
If I could live my life all over

[Chorus]
C                         G
 It wouldn't matter anyway
                          C
'Cause I never could stay sober
D                      G
 On the Corpus Christi bay
                            D
If I could live my life all over
C                         G
 It wouldn't matter anyway
                          C
'Cause I never could stay sober
D                      G
 On the Corpus Christi bay
