[Verse 1]
Out of [G]work I took a job
As a [F]hand on a boat
in [C]a town [G]called
On my first day off,
I was [F]sittin' drinkin' beer
[C]at a bar called the Dock[G]aday
Went in [F]and walked a woman
that [G]every man eyed,
but her [F]eyes [C]stayed right on [G]me
The [F]guy next to me,
he [G]whispered real low,
there's [C]more to her than you can [D]see
She comes from the [G]back bay,
[F]better [C]stay away
[G]She lives up on the back [F]bay,
and then [C]he moved on [G]away[F][C][G]
Well, she came and sat down,
and the [F]hours flew by
And the [C]beer flowed just like the [G]tide
The sun went down and
the [F]moon came up
And there was [C]fire in her [G]eyes
She [F]took me for a ride
in the [G]white moonlight
In a [F]boat like [C]I'd never seen
[G]As [C]the[G] bay fl[F]ew by, the sky was al[G]ive
I was [C]seeing things that I'd never [D]seen
She said, you're going to
the [G]back [F]bay
You're gonna [C]see my way
[G]Cause there's magic
on the back [F]bay
You might [C]even wanna stay
[G][F][C][G][F][C][G]
Well, I woke in the morning
to her [F]houseboat
[C]Rockin' eye to eye with
an old brown [G]hound
There was fresh mullet fryin'
and strange birds cryin'
[C]And no one else for miles aro[G]und
I [F]saw her standin' there with a [G]breeze in
I knew [F]I nev[C]er wanted to leave
[G]I saw my thi[F]ngs all around
I knew she'd [G]been back into town
And [C]already made the move for [D]me
She said you're moving to
the [G]back [F]bed
You're gonna [C]see my way
[G]You're gonna love it on the back [F]bed
And you're al[C]ways gonna stay
[G]I l[C]ove it o[G]n the back b[F]ay[C]
[G]I'm gonna stay on the back [F]bay[C]
[G]Lay the heaven on the back
[F]bay[C][G][F][C][G]
[F]
You
