Verse 1
(D major) (G major) It was his first trip to Boston,
in a big (C major) long diesel truck.
It (D major) was his first trip to Boston,
he was having (G major) lots of luck.
He was headed the wrong direction,
down (C major) a one -way street in town.
And this (D major) is what he said,
when the police chased him down. (G major)
Give me 40 acres
and I'll turn (A major) this rig around
It's the easi (D major) est way that I've found (G major)
Some guys can turn her on a dime
or turn (C major) it right downtown
But (D major) I need 40 acres
to turn this rig around
(G major) When he finally found where to unload
he had (C major) a dreadful shock
His trailer (D major) pointed toward the road
and his cab right to (G major) the dock
And as he looked around him,
through his tears (C major) he made the sound
Oh, (D major) give me forty acres
and I'll turn this rig around (G major)
Give me forty acres
and I'll turn (A major) this rig around
It's the easi (D major) est way that I've (G major) found
Some guys can turn it on a dime
or turn (C major) it right downtown
I (D major) need 40 acres
to turn this brig around (G major) (D major)
(G major) When he finally got unloaded
He was glad (C major) to leave that town
He (D major) was feeling very happy
Going back (G major) to Alabama
When up ahead he saw a sign
Said, you (C major) are northward bound
He (D major) said, give me 40 acres
and I'll turn this rig around. (G major)
He was driving down the right lane
when (C major) ahead he saw a sign.
(D major) He had to make the left turn,
but he could not get (G major) in line.
The tears were streaming
down his cheeks,
and they (C major) all heard him yell,
(D major) give me 40 sticks of dynamite,
and I'll blow this rig up. (G major)
Give me 40 acres,
and I'll turn (A major) this rig around.
It's the easi (D major) est way that I've found (G major)
Some guys can turn it on a dime
and turn (C major) it right down town
But I (D major) need 40 acres to turn this around (G major)
Give Me 40 Acres
