Give Me Forty Acres Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]He was headed in to Boston
in a [G]big long diesel truck
It was [A]his first trip to Boston,
he was [D]having lots of luck
He was going the wrong direction
down a [G]one -way street in [E]town
And [A]this is what he said
when the police chased him [D]down
Give me forty acres
and I'll [G]turn this place around
It's the [A]easiest way that I've [D]found
Some guys can turn it on a dime
or [G]turn it right down[E]town
But I need [A]40 acres
to turn this rig [D]around
When he finally found where to unload
he [G]had an awful shock
His [A]trailer pointed to the road
and his [D]cab right to the dock
As he looked around him through his tears
he [G]made an [E]awful sound singing
[A]Give me 40 acres
and I'll turn this [D]rig around
Give me 40 acres
and I'll [G]turn this rig around
It's the [A]easiest way that I've [D]found
Some guys can turn it on a dime
or [G]turn it right down[E]town
But [A]I'd need forty acres
to turn this rig [D]around[G][A][D]
When he finally got unloaded,
he [G]wasn't worth a damn
He was [A]looking forward to going
home [D]to Alabama
Went up ahead, he saw a sign
that [G]said you're northern [E]bound
And he [A]needed 40 acres
just to turn that [D]rig around
Give me 40 acres
and I'll [G]turn this rig around
It's the [A]easiest way that I've [D]found
Some guys can turn it all the time
or [G]turn it right down[E]town
But [A]I need 40 acres
to turn this rig around
[D]He was driving down the right side
when [G]ahead he saw a sign
Mak[A]ing any left turn, [D]could not get in line
The tears were streaming down his face
and [G]we all heard him [E]yell
If I [A]had some dynamite,
I'd blow this rig to [D]hell
Give me 40 acres
and I'll [G]turn this rig around
It's the [A]easiest way that I've [D]found
Some guys can turn it on a dime
or [G]turn it right down[E]town
But [A]I need 40 acres
to turn this [D]rig around
You
