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.
D5Am7
If the storm doesn't kill me
CG
the government will
D5 Am7 Fill1
I've gotta get that out of my head
DAm7CG
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
FG
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
GD5
Their memory is yet to be stilled
F
Belief has not failed me
GD5
And so I am put to the test
