Gulf Of Mexico(Chords)

	        INTRO:  F C G C 
 
 
 C    
The Texas coastline hold her 
                   G 
close just like a lady 
 
And in their time  they've  
                      C 
weathered a storm or two. 
 
The river feed her waters like I 
 G 
feed your memory. 
 
The deeper I go the more I'm 
         C 
turning blue. 
 F 
The sandy beaches drift in time 
           C             G 
and the changing tide I know 
 C 
won't bring me back to yesterday 
          G 
and the Gulf of Mexico. 
 C  
The sails out on the water will 
 G 
come take you away. 
 
When your ship comes in I know  
            C 
its time to go 
 
and the waves along the seawall 
     G  
tell me nothings here to stay 
 
and no man is an island but I'm 
            C  
still all alone. 
 F 
I'm weighing anchors from the past 
         C                   G  
as the south winds start to blow 
   C  
sailing out of yesterday 
         G  
and the Gulf of Mexico. 
          F                C  
I'll be sailing out of yesterday 
         G               F  C  G  C    
and the Gulf of Mexic.
