That’s Life, by Corin Raymond

This tab is based on a 2011 live performance in Vancouver.
Corin plays it differently solo vs. with a band but the basic chord pattern is consistent:
Two beats of G+G to two beats of C majorC with a pre-chorus bar of D MajorD that has a different strumming pattern.

Verse 1:
G+G       C majorC     G+G        C majorC
In the bottle there’s a half a glass of red wine,
G+G        C majorC     G+G      C majorC
And on my floor there’s a trapezoid of sunshine.
G+G       C majorC      G+G        C majorC
If I can crack my head and spill out all my daydreams,
G+G        C majorC      G+G         C majorC
You’ll find self esteem is a rhyming scheme for moon beams.
G+G        C majorC       G+G    C majorC
If I could show you everything my skin hides,
G+G     C majorC        G+G      C majorC
If I could peel me back and look into my insides,
G+G      C majorC       G+G     C majorC
You’d find a love burning a hole in my heart.
G+G       C majorC        G+G          C majorC
All the love I give away gonna ricochet back my way some day.
G+G   C majorC
I’d say
G+G       C majorC         G+G          C majorC
All the love I give away is gonna ricochet back my way some day.
G+G                   D MajorD
I think today I’ll start keeping track.

Chorus 1:
G+G   C majorC
I say:
G+G     C majorC   G+G      C majorC
That’s life;   loving you right back.
G+G     C majorC   G+G      C majorC
That’s life,   loving you right back.

Verse 2:
G+G            C majorC       G+G        C majorC
Makes me want to get my bare feet on, and do a little boogaloo.
G+G              C majorC   G+G        C majorC
Makes me want to write you a song, for when you’re feeling blue.
G+G            C majorC   G+G                  D MajorD
Something you can shake it to, send a shiver through your sacroiliac.

Chorus 2:
G+G     C majorC   G+G      C majorC
That’s life;   loving you right back.
G+G     C majorC   G+G      C majorC
That’s life,   loving you right back.
G+G       C majorC   G+G     C majorC
Living you right,   loving you right back.
G+G    C majorC         G+G   C majorC
Mmm mmm mm mm hmmm.    Mmm mmm mm mm hmmm.

Dobro solo:
      G+G    C majorC
And some “Mmm mmm mm mm hmmm.”

Verse 3:
G+G   C majorC
I say
G+G     C majorC    G+G      C majorC
a song is an act of premeditated beauty
G+G     C majorC    G+G       C majorC
A augmentedA song is a joy and I consider it my duty.
G+G     C majorC   G+G       C majorC
On a Saturday in the middle of September
G+G     C majorC    G+G      C majorC
To sit in the sun and sing this little number
G+G          C majorC    G+G      C majorC
Because I got a love burning a hole in my heart
G+G          C majorC       G+G          C majorC
All the love I give away is gonna ricochet back my way someday.
G+G  C majorC
I say
G+G          C majorC       G+G          C majorC
All the love I give away is gonna ricochet back my way someday
G+G      C majorC     G+G      D MajorD
It’s safe to say it’s a natural fact.

Chorus 3:
G+G     C majorC   G+G      C majorC
That’s life;   loving you right back.
G+G     C majorC   G+G      C majorC
That’s life,   loving you right back.

Verse 4:
G+G     C majorC   G+G      C majorC
Makes me want to get my bare feet on,
G+G     C majorC   G+G      C majorC
makes me want to run through the rain.
G+G        C majorC     G+G        C majorC
Makes me want to laugh and shout and sing a bold refrain
G+G           C majorC     G+G                   D MajorD
that goes against the grain and rolls just like a train down the track.

Chorus Outro:
G+G     C majorC   G+G      C majorC
That’s life;   loving you right back.
G+G     C majorC   G+G      C majorC
That’s life,   loving you right back.
G+G     C majorC
Living you right.
G+G     C majorC
Loving you right back.
G+G     C majorC
That’s life.
