[Intro]
Bm D A G x2
[Verse 1]
Bm
Took my first breath where the muddy Brazos
D
spills into the gulf of Mexico
A
where the skyline is covered by chemical plants
G
that put bread on the table of a workin man
Bm
well the workin man does his best to provide
D
safety and shelter for kids and a wife
A
given a little of his soul everyday
G* **
makin overtime to keep the wolves away
| * strum once and let ring
| ** after "away" he plays

Bm D A G x2
[Verse 2]
Bm
Well I was barely thirteen when the company man
D
Tried to dig my daddy's grave
A
It happened on a French owned tanker ship
G
Spillin' poison into Galveston Bay
Bm
Where the liquid fire filled his lungs and his eyes
D
Silenced, any moans or cries
A
Cold and the Grit, the damn stinkin pain
G* **
but he fought like hell to keep the wolves away
[Solo]
Bm D A G x2
[Verse 3]
Bm
For the next few years dad was sick as a dog
D
but he made a recovery just to spite the odds.
A
The settlement came and we moved out of town
G
where the sky isn't heavy with refinery clouds.
Bm
Yeah he's still alive he's doing good he's in his fifties
D
but the money's runnin out and he's pinchin for pennies
A
so I'm going for broke with every song I play,
G* **
cause now it's my turn to keep the wolves away
[Solo]
Bm D A G x3 (extend G 3rd time)
