Corpus Christi Bay Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]I worked the rigs from three to mid[C]nig[G]ht
On the Corpus Christi [C]Bay
I'd get off and drink till [G]daylight
Sleep the morning a[D]way
I had a plan to take my [C]wa [G]ges
Leave the rigs behind for [C]good
But that life it is con[G]tagious
[D]And it gets down in your blo[G]od

[Verse 2]
I lived in Corpus with my [C]broth[G]er
We were always on the [C]run
We were bad for one an[G]other
But we were good at hav[D]ing fun
We got stoned along the [C]sea[G]wall
We got drunk and rolled a [C]car
We knew the girls at every [G]dance hall
[D]Had a tab at every bar[G]

[Chorus 1]
If I could live my life all [D]over
[C]It wouldn't matter anyway[G]
'Cause I never could stay [C]sober
[D]On the Corpus Christi Bay[G]

[Verse 3]
My brother had a wife and [C]fami[G]ly
You know, he gave them a good [C]home
But his wife thought we were [G]crazy
And one day we found [D]her gone
We threw her clothes into the [C]car [G]trunk
Her photographs, her rosa[C]ry
We went to the pier and [G]got drunk
[D]And threw it all into the sea[G]

[Chorus 2]
If I could live my life all [D]over
[C]It wouldn't matter anyway[G]
'Cause I never could stay [C]sober
[D]On the Corpus Christi Bay[G]

[Verse 4]
Now my brother lives in [C]Hous[G]ton
He married for the second [C]time
He got a good job with the [G]union
And it's keeping him [D]in line
He came to Corpus just this [C]week[G]end
It was good to see him [C]here
He said he finally gave up [G]drinking
[D]Then he ordered me a bee[G]r

[Chorus 3]
If I could live my life all [D]over
[C]It wouldn't matter anyway[G]
'Cause I never could stay [C]sober
[D]On the Corpus Christi Bay[G]

[Chorus 4]
If I could live my life all [D]over
[C]It wouldn't matter anyway[G]
'Cause I never could stay [C]sober
[D]On the Corpus Christi Bay[G]
