Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Steve Earle sings first verse a cappella, but I provide chords for those of us lacking
confidence in our voices...
D G D
Come and gather 'round me people and a tale to you I'll tell
D A G D
Of my father and his father in the days before the Spill
D G D
With an endless sky above 'em and a restless sea below
D A G D
And every blessing flowing from the Gulf of Mexico
D G D
Well my Granddad worked the shrimp boats from the time that he was grown
D A G D
And he scrimped and saved and bought himself a trawler of his own
D G D
He was rough and he was ready and he drank when he was home
D A G D
And he made his family's living on the Gulf of Mexico
Chorus
D G D D G D
He was rolling, He was rolling
D G A D
Cross the deep blue water he was rolling
D G D
Well my Daddy drove a crew boat hauling workers to the rigs
D A G D
He was sick of mending nets and couldn't stand the smell of fish
D G D
He drew a steady paycheck 20 years from Texaco
D A G D
When he died we spread his ashes on the Gulf of Mexico
Chorus
D G D G D
He was rolling, He was rolling
D G A D
Cross the deep green water he was rolling
D G D
As for me I dreamed of nothing any grander than the day
D A G
D
That I stepped out on the drilling floor to earn a roughneck's pay
D G D
Then one night I swear I saw the devil crawlin' from the hole
D A G D
And he spilled the guts of hell out in the Gulf of Mexico
Chorus
D G D G D
We were rolling, we were rolling
D G A D
Cross the blood red water we were rolling
confidence in our voices...
