Matagorda Bay 
Recorded by Josh Abbott Band
Album: Small Town Family Dream
(Capo on 2)
[Intro]
D Bm G A D
DI've been walking Matagorda BmBay, Gthinking about Ayou the whole Dday
Hot Texas sand under Bmmy feet and the Gwaves of the Agulf crush the Dbeach
DThis hot sun has got a Gway of making my beer cold
DJust like sun burnt children Ahave got a way of making me feel old
DAnd all these honeymooners Gman I'm feeling alone
DSo I'm picking up seashells, Awaiting on you to come back home
DI've been walking Matagorda BmBay, Gthinking about Ayou the whole Dday
Hot Texas sand under Bmmy feet and the Gwaves of the Agulf crush the Dbeach
Well the Gsun is glaring and the people are staring and the Dseagulls are singing along
And GI don't know when I'm gonna see you, but I Dknow I'm waiting way too Along
DI've been walking Matagorda BmBay, Gthinking about Ayou the whole Dday
[Instrumental]
D Bm G A D
DJump in my boat, Gheading out to the flats
DI've got my fly rod in hand, Awading through the cool sea grass
DI've got not luck, Gspottin' tail and reds
DI've got no damn luck, Agetting you out of my head
DI've been walking Matagorda BmBay, Gthinking about Ayou the whole Dday
Hot Texas sand under Bmmy feet and the Gwaves of the Agulf crush the Dbeach
Well the Gsun is glaring and the people are staring and the Dseagulls are singing along
And GI don't know when I'm gonna see you, but I Dknow I'm waiting way too Along
DI've been walking Matagorda BmBay, Gthinking about Ayou the whole Dday
[Outro]
D Bm G A D
