About 25-30 years ago, we were both living in Houston and
_ _ _ he came banging on my door one morning and proceeded to set up in the corner of my bedroom and
_ _ _ perform this song which he had just stayed up all night writing.

[C] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ We all got holes to fill, and them holes are all that's real
