[Intro]
A [Verse]
A I worked the rigs from three
'til midnight D On the Corpus Christi Bay A I'd get off and drink 'til daylight E7 Sleep the morning away [Verse 2] A I had a plan to take my wages D Leave the rigs behind for good A But that life, it is contagious E7 A And it gets down in your blood [Verse]
A D A I lived in Corpus with my brother D We was always on the run A We were bad for one another E7 But we were good at having fun [Verse]
A We got stoned along the seawall D We got drunk and rolled a car A We knew the girls in every dance hall E7 A Had a tab in every bar [Chorus]
E7 If I could live my life all over A It wouldn't matter anyway E7 I never could stay sober A Down on that Corpus Christi Bay [Verse]
A D A My brother had a wife and family D You know he gave 'em both a home A But his wife thought we were crazy E7 And one day we found her gone [Verse]
We threw her clothes into
A
the car trunk D Her photographs, her rosary A Went down to the pier and got drunk D A Threw it all into the sea [Chorus]
E7 If I could live my life all over A It wouldn't matter anyway E7 'Cause I never could stay sober A D A Down on that Corpus Christi Bay [Verse]
A Now my brother lives in Houston D Married for the second time A Got a job with the union E7 It's keeping him in line [Verse]
A He came to Corpus just this weekend D It was good to see him here A He said he finally gave up drinking E7 A He ordered me a beer [Chorus]
E7 If I could live my life all over A It wouldn't matter anyway E7 Well I never could stay sober A Down on that Corpus Christi Bay [Outro]
E7 If I could live my life all over A It wouldn't matter anyway D A D A I never could stay sober D A D A D A D A
