Uncle Lucius - Keep The Wolves Away Chords

[INTRO]  
C#m   E   B   A


C#m
Took my first breath where the muddy Brazos

E
spills into the gulf of Mexico

          B
where the skylines covered my chemical plants

         A
that put bread on the table of a workin man

         C#m
well the workin man does his best to provide

E
safety and shelter for kids and a wife

B
given a little of his soul everyday

        (Strum A and let ring)
      A 
makin overtime to keep the wolves away





C#m  E  B  A (Same as intro while whistling)

C#m
Well 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
Spillin' poison into Galveston Bay

C#m
The liquid fire filled his lungs and his eyes

E
Silenced, any moans or cries

 B
Cold and the Grit, the damn stinkin pain

        Strum A and let ring
      A 
but he fought like hell to keep the wolves away.

C#m E  B  A E A  C#m E  B  A

C#m
For the next few years dad was sick as a dog

E
but he made a recovery just to spite the odds.

 B
Settlement came and we moved out of town

 A
where the sky isn't heavy with refinery clouds.

C#m
Yeah he's still alive he's doing good he's in his fifties

E
but the money's runnin out and he's pinchin pennies

 B
so I'm going for broke with every song I play,

        Strum A and let ring
      A 
cause now it's my turn to keep the wolves away.
