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
