R.E.M. - Houston: chords

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
