Keep the Wolves Away Uncle Lucius
[Bm] [D] [A] [G]
Took [Bm]my first breath where the muddy Brazos
[D]spills into the gulf of Mexico
where the [A]skylines covered by chemical plants
that put [G]bread on the table of a workin' man
well the [Bm]workin' man does his best to provide
[D]safety and shelter for kids and a wife
[A]given a little of his soul everyday
makin'[G/] overtime to keep the wolves away
[Bm] [D] [A] [G]whistling
[Bm]Well I was barely thirteen when the company man
[D]Tried to dig my daddy's grave
I[A]t happened on a French owned tanker ship
Spillin' [G]poison into Galveston Bay
The [Bm]liquid fire filled his lungs and his eyes
[D]Silenced, any moans or cries
C[A]old and the Grit, the damn stinkin' pain
but he [G/]fought like hell to keep the wolves away.
[Bm] [D] [A] [G]
[Bm] For the next few years dad was sick as a dog
but he [D]made a recovery just to spite the odds.
[A] Settlement came and we moved out of town
where the [G]sky isn't heavy with refinery clouds.
Yeah he's [Bm]still alive he's doing good he's in his fifties
but the [D]money's runnin' out and he's pinchin' pennies
so I'm [A]going for broke with every song I play,
cause[G/] now it's my turn to keep the wolves away.
[Bm] [D] [A] [G] [Bm] [D] [A] [G]whistling
