Dm C G If the storm doesn't kill me the government will Dm Em I've got to get that out of my head Dm C G It's a new day today and the coffee is strong Dm Em I've 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 Chorus: D C Houston is filled with promise D C Laredo is a beautiful place D C 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 Chorus And some things, they fall to the wayside Their memory is yet to be still Belief has not filled me And so I am put to the test You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsC  D  Dm  Em  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
