Guitar chords with lyrics
C majorC 
D7D7
He was headin' into Beantown in a big long diesel truck
G7G7 C majorC
It was his first trip to Boston he was having all bad luck
D7D7
He was going the wrong direction down a one-way street in town
G7G7 C majorC
And this is what he said when the police chased him down
D7D7
Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around
G7G7 C majorC
Give me forty acres it's the easiest way I've found
D7D7
Some guys can turn it on a dime or turn it right downtown
G7G7 C majorC
But I need forty acres to turn this rig around
D7D7
When he finally found where to unload he had a dreadful shock
G7G7 C majorC
His trailer pointed toward the road and his cab right to the dock
D7D7
And as he looked around him through the tears he made this sound
G7G7 C majorC
Well give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around
D7D7
Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around
G7G7 C majorC
Give me forty acres it's the easiest way I've found
D7D7
Some guys can turn it on a dime or turn it right downtown
G7G7 C majorC
But I need forty acres to turn this rig around
D7D7
When he finally got unloaded he was glad to leave the town
G7G7 C majorC
He was very very happy goin' back to Alabam'
D7D7
When up ahead he saw a sign that said you're northward bound
G7G7 C majorC
He said give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around
D7D7
Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around
G7G7 C majorC
Give me forty acres it's the easiest way I've found
D7D7
Some guys can turn it on a dime or turn it right downtown
G7G7 C majorC
But I need forty acres to turn this rig around
D7D7
He was driving down the right lane when ahead he saw a sign
G7G7 C majorC
He had to make a left turn but could not get in line
D7D7
Now the tears came streaming down his cheeks and everybody heard him yell
G7G7 C majorC
Give me forty sticks of dynamite and I'll blow this thing to ...
D7D7
Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around
G7G7 C majorC
Give me forty acres it's the easiest way I've found
D7D7
Some guys can turn it on a dime or turn it right downtown
G7G7 C majorC
But I need forty acres to turn this rig around
D7D7
Yeah give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around
G7G7 C majorC
Give me forty acres it's the easiest way I've found
D7D7
Now if you can turn it on a dime or turn it way downtown
G7G7 C majorC
But I need forty acres to turn this rig around
D7D7

G7G7

C majorC D7D7 G7G7

C majorC

D7D7 G7G7 C majorC
