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 to two beats of C with a pre-chorus bar of D that has a different strumming pattern.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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