R.E.M.

^D5 If the storm doesn't ^Am7 kill me
the ^C government will ^G
D5 Am7 Fill1
I've gotta get that out of my head
It's a ^D new day to ^Am7 day and the ^C coffee is ^G 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 Its meaning has not been ^G 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 Their memory is yet to be ^D5 stilled
^F Belief has not failed me
And ^G so I am put to the test ^D5
