[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]
G                                 C  G
I worked the rigs from three till midnight
                      C
On the Corpus Christi Bay
                           G
I'd get off and drink till daylight
                   D
Sleep the morning away
                        C G
I had a plan to take my wages
                          C
Leave the rigs behind for good
                       G       D
But that life it is contagious
                         G
And it gets down in your blood

[Verse 2]
G                         C  G
I lived in Corpus with my brother
                      C
We were always on the run
                     G
We were bad for one another
                           D
But we were good at having fun
                        C  G
We got stoned along the seawall
                          C
We got drunk and rolled a car
                           G         D
We knew the girls at every dancehall
                   G
Had a tab at every bar

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

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

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

C F C D G

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

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