D                           Bm   G              A             D
I've been walking Matagorda Bay, thinking about you the whole day
                     Bm              G            A              D
Hot Texas sand under my feet and the waves of the gulf crush the beach

D                      G
This hot sun has got a way of making my beer cold
D                            A
Just like sun burnt children have got a way of making me feel old
D                          G
And all these honeymooners man I'm feeling alone
D                            A
So I'm picking up seashells, waiting on you to come back home

D                           Bm   G              A             D
I've been walking Matagorda Bay, thinking about you the whole day
                     Bm              G            A              D
Hot Texas sand under my feet and the waves of the gulf crush the beach

         G                                                 D
Well the sun is glaring and the people are staring and the seagulls are singing along
    G                                          D                        A
And I don't know when I'm gonna see you, but I know I'm waiting way too long
D                           Bm   G              A             D
I've been walking Matagorda Bay, thinking about you the whole day

D Bm G A D

D                G
Jump in my boat, heading out to the flats
D                            A
I've got my fly rod in hand, wading through the cool sea grass
D                  G
I've got not luck, spottin' tail and reds
D                      A
I've got no damn luck, getting you out of my head

D                           Bm   G              A             D
I've been walking Matagorda Bay, thinking about you the whole day
                     Bm              G            A              D
Hot Texas sand under my feet and the waves of the gulf crush the beach

         G                                                 D
Well the sun is glaring and the people are staring and the seagulls are singing along
    G                                          D                        A
And I don't know when I'm gonna see you, but I know I'm waiting way too long
D                           Bm   G              A             D
