Notes:
In the verse it seems that Peter does not hit the high e string but he
strums every chord once and then the stays at the melodic strings til the
next chord.


D5D5          Am7Am7
If the storm doesn't kill me
  C majorC         G+G
the government will
      D5D5    Am7Am7    Fill1
I've gotta get that out of my head
    D MajorD     Am7Am7     C majorC     G+G
It's a new day today and the coffee is strong
 D MajorD    Am7Am7   Fill11
I finally got some rest

So a man's put to task and challenges
I was taught to hold my head high
Collect what is mine,
Make the best of what today has

D*           C*   Fill2
Houston is filled with promise
D*          C*
Laredo's a beautiful place
D*              C*        Fill2
and Galveston sings like that song that I loved
FF            G+G
Its meaning has not been erased

And so there are claims forgiven
And so there are things that are gone

Houston is filled with promise
Laredo is a beautiful place
and Galveston sings like that song that I loved
Its meaning has not been erased

FF
And some things, they fall to the wayside
G+G             D5D5
Their memory is yet to be stilled
FF
Belief has not failed me
  G+G            D5D5
And so I am put to the test
