[F#] _ [A] _ _ I _ _ [C#m] took my first breath where the muddy rises [E] spills into the Gulf of Mexico
and the _ [B] skyline's colored by chemical plants that [A] put bread on the table of the working man
[C#m] where the working man does his best to provide [E] safety and shelter for kids and a while _
[B] giving a little of his soul every day, [A] making overtime to keep the wolves away

[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ I [C#m] was barely 13 when the company man [E] tried to dig my daddy's grave _ _
it [B] happened on a French owned tanker ship spilling [A] poison in the Galveston Bay _
[C#m] where the liquid fire filled his lungs and his eyes [E] silenced in immortal cries
[B] cold in the grip, death stinging pain, [A] he fought like hell to keep the [E] wolves away

[C#m] the next few years dad was sick as a dog but [E] he made a cover just to spot the ox
[B] the settlement came and we moved out of town where [A] the sky isn't heavy with refined _ [C#m] reply
yeah he's still alive, he's doing good, he's in his 50s but [E] the money's running out
and he's painting 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
