Gulf of Mexico Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]She cooks
him ham [C]and hoecakes
At 5:30 in the [G]morn[C][D][G]
She does the dishes
[C]And irons his uni[G]forms[C]
And she [D]thinks she might have loved
Him once [C]but that was [G]so long ago
And the [D]rain pours [Dsus4]down
Like a holy [D]water[C] fall
Over the [G]Gulf [D]of Mexico[C]
[G]The boa[C]rdwalk's deserted
And the beach is all closed down
[G]And [C]the[G] middle school punk roc[C]kers
Ride their skateboard[G]s
Through the town
And [D]she looks back and she daydreams
About [C]things and people she's never
Seen just to [G]keep from being blue and
[D]She gets home about a quarter to four
And [C]drives her brother
To the liquor store [G]on Ocean
[D]Avenue[C][G]
And I'm parked on
the state [C]line on this
Cold [G]November day and pretty soon I'll
Be a drivin [C]fool somewhere down this
[G]Lost highway [D]then I hear a voice from
My soul's core [C]sayin
""freedom's just a
Metaphor, you [G]got nowhere to go""
And the [D]rain pours down like a
Holy wa[C]terfall over the
[G]Gulf [D]of Mexico[C]
Over the [G]Gulf of Mexico
