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.
