And The Gulf Coast Cried Today
Im pretty sure that anybody who's looking at this already saw the video, or heard it. My closest friends on here. But these are the words

An explosion in Gulf Waters
C/G
Eleven good men died

But the oil consumed the headlines

While eleven families cried
Em G
But now its time to fix things
Em A
And leave politics aside
C D G
And the Gulf Coast cried today

Millions of gallons, maybe more

Dead dolphins, turtles, fish and birds

Keep washin on the shore

For people that make a living there

Theres no living any more

To do what Daddy’s done

And the Gulf Coast cried today

Now a mile below the surface

C D E
On the side that won

All but went away

Just like yesterday

Re: And The Gulf Coast Cried Today
I like this one.
The politics and the sociology of life / work and change in the Gulf.
