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.





D5                   Am7

If the storm doesn't kill me

    C                 G

the government will

           D5       Am7       Fill1

I've gotta get that out of my head

       D         Am7         C         G

It's a new day today and the coffee is strong

  D       Am7      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

F                        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



F

And some things, they fall to the wayside

G                         D5

Their memory is yet to be stilled

F

Belief has not failed me

    G                        D5

And so I am put to the test
