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

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”
Very reliable tuner
theNewPaul
“This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!”
This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
Great to tune and play
