Verse 1
(B flat major) I worked the rigs from three to (E flat major) mid (B flat major) night
On the Corpus Christi (E flat major) Bay
I'd get off and drink till (B flat major) daylight
Sleep the morning away (F major)
I had a plan to take my (E flat major) wa (B flat major) ges
Leave the rigs behind for (E flat major) good
But that life it is con (B flat major) tagious
(F major) And it gets down in your (B flat major) blood
