  Corpus Christi Bay

  by Robert Earl Keen Jr.

  

  Capo on 3rd fret

  

  G                                 C  G

  I worked the rigs from three 'til midnight

  G                     C

  On the Corpus Christi Bay

  C                          G

  I'd get off and drink 'til daylight

  G                 D

  Sleep the mornin' away

  D                       C G

  I had a plan to take my wages

  G                         C

  Leave the rigs behind for good

  C                      G	      D

  But that life it is contagious

  D                        G

  And it gets down in your blood

  

  

  I lived in Corpus with my brother

  We were always on the run

  We were bad for one another

  But we were good at having fun

  We got stoned along the seawall

  We got drunk and rolled a car

  We knew the girls at every dancehall

  Had a tab at every bar

  

  

  

  Chorus:

  G                           D   		C

  If I could live my life all over

  C                  G

  It wouldn't matter anyway

  G                         C		    D

  'Cause I never could stay sober

  D                     G

  On the Corpus Christi Bay

  

  

  My brother had a wife and family

  You know he gave 'em a good home

  But his wife thought we were crazy

  And one day we found her gone

  We threw here clothes into the car trunk

  Her photographs her rosary

  We went to the pier and got drunk

  And threw it all into the sea

  

  CHORUS

  

  Now my brother lives in Houston

  He married for the second time

  He got a job with the union

  And it's keeping him in line

  He came to Corpus just this weekend

  It was good to see him here

  He said he finally gave up drinkin'

  Then he ordered me a beer

  

  CHORUS (TWICE)
