[C#m] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[B] Took _ _ [A] _ _ _
[C#m] my first breath where the muddy rises [E] spills into the Gulf of Mexico
[B] And the skyline's colored by chemical plants
[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 wife
[B] Giving a little of his soul every day
[A] Making overtime to keep the wolves away

[A] _ _ _ [C#m] I was barely thirteen when the company man
[E] Tried to dig my daddy's grave
[B] It happened on a French owned tanker ship
[A] Spilling poison in the Galveston Bay
[C#m] Well the liquid fire filled his lungs and his [E] eyes
Silenced any more [B] cries
Cold and grim, death, sting and pain
[A] He fought like hell [E] to keep the wolves away

[C#m] For the next few years dad was sick as a dog
[E] But he made a recovery just to spot the odds
[B] The settlement came and we moved out of town
[A] Where the sky isn't heavy with refinery [C#m] plaques
Yeah he's still alive, he's doing good, he's in his fifties
[E] But the money's running out and he's painting more [B] pennies
So I'm going for broke with every song I play
[A] Cause now it's my turn to keep the wolves away
