Repeat just the G part then into the verse…

[Verse 1]
G C
In ’81 I was just a drink on the shelf, a daiquiri
G Em
Not even a thought til sometime in July
G
Sometime in July

[Verse 2]
G
And something happened in ’84
C
I ended up with two places to be from
G
The only tree with leaves in Lubbock
Em
With roots in Mineral Wells
G
Mineral Wells

[Chorus]
G
At night I dream I’m in the Brazos River
D
Pines and cypress of the West Cross Timbers
A7 D
And oh, I know, it shows
G
I’m another one still thirsting for my home

[Instrumental]
G G/F# Em
Em Em/F# G

[Verse 3]
G
There’s a spot under the train track trestles
C
The water’s too deep to stand in
G
And you were there once
Em
We climb the sandstone and jump in
G
Hold your breath and jump in

[Verse 4]
G
We take the airboats way upstream
C
The heat’s tiring and I fall asleep
G
In my folding chair
Em
I dreamed Dad was smoking cigarettes
G
He always had one hanging from his lips

[Chorus]
G
At night I dream I’m in the Brazos River
D
Pines and cypress of the West Cross Timbers
A7 D
And oh, I know, it shows
G
I’m another one still thirsting for my home

[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
G
I’ve tried drinking water from the Gibson well
C
Folks before me say, “it cures what ails ya”
G
I think it might be true
Em
That there’s something in the well
G
In Mineral Wells

[Chorus]
G
At night I dream I’m in the Brazos River
D
Pines and cypress of the West Cross Timbers
A7 D
And oh, I know, it shows
G
I’m another one still thirsting for my home
