[Intro 1]
[Dm][Em][Dm][D][Dm][D][Dm][Em][C][G][Dm][Em][C][Em]
[Dm][D][C][G]
[Dm][D][Em]

[Verse 1]
If the storm [Dm]doesn't kill me, the [D]govern[C]ment [D]will
[G]I've got to get tha[Dm]t out
of my [D]head[Em]
It's a [Dm]new day today
and the coffee is [D]strong[G]
I've fi[Dm]nally got some
[D]rest[Em]

[Verse 2]
[Dm]So a man's put to task
[D]and chal[C]lenges[G]
I was [Dm]taught to hold my head [D]high[Em]
[Dm]Col lect what is mine
Make the be[C]st [D]of what [C]today
[G]has
[Dm][D][Em]

[Verse 3]
[D]Houston is filled with prom[C]ise[D][C]
[D]Laredo is a beautiful [C]place[D][C]
[D]Galveston sings like [C]that song that I loved
Its [F]meaning has not been [G]erased
[D][C][G][Dm][D]

[Verse 4]
[Em]
And so [Dm]there are claims for[D]given[C][G]
[Dm]And so there are things
[D]that are gone[Em]

[Verse 5]
[D]Houston is filled [C]with prom[D]ise
Laredo is a beautiful [C]place
[D]Galveston sings like that [C]song that I loved
Its [F]meaning has not been [G]erased

[Verse 6]
And some [Dm]things,
they fall to the way[F]side
[G]Their memory is yet to [D]be still[Dm]
Be[F]lief has not filled me
[G]And so I am put to the test

[Outro 1]
[Dm][D]
