Intro -x2-: Dbm E B A Verse 1: Dbm Took my first breath where the muddy Brazos E spills into the gulf of Mexico B where the skyline is covered by chemical plants A that put bread on the table of a workin man Dbm well the workin man does his best to provide E safety and shelter for kids and a wife B given a little of his soul everyday A makin overtime to keep the wolves away Instrumental -x2-: Dbm E B A Verse 2: Dbm Well I was barely thirteen when the company man E Tried to dig my daddy's grave B It happened on a French owned tanker ship A Spillin' poison into Galveston Bay Dbm Where the liquid fire filled his lungs and his eyes E Silenced, any moans or cries B Cold and the Grit, the damn stinkin pain A but he fought like hell to keep the wolves away Solo -x2-: Dbm E B A Verse 3: Dbm For the next few years dad was sick as a dog E but he made a recovery just to spite the odds. B The settlement came and we moved out of town A where the sky isn't heavy with refinery clouds. Dbm Yeah he's still alive he's doing good he's in his fifties E but the money's runnin out and he's pinchin for pennies B so I'm going for broke with every song I play, A cause now it's my turn to keep the wolves away Solo -x3-: Dbm E B A Outro: Dbm E B A
