Give Me Forty Acres (Boxcar Willie)

		
 G                                   A7  
He was headin' into Beantown in a big long diesel truck 
        D7                                G  
It was his first trip to Boston he was having all bad luck 
                                         A7  
He was going the wrong direction down a one-way street in town 
     D7                                                G  
And this is what he said when the police chased him down 
 
                              A7  
Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around 
 D7                             G  
Give me forty acres it's the easiest way I've found 
                                    A7  
Some guys can turn it on a dime or turn it right downtown 
 D7                                        G  
But I need forty acres to turn this rig around 
 
                                       A7  
When he finally found where to unload he had a dreadful shock 
     D7                                        G  
His trailer pointed toward the road and his cab right to the dock 
                                         A7  
And as he looked around him through the tears he made this sound 
      D7                                           G  
Well give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around 
 
Repeat #2 
 
                                     A7  
When he finally got unloaded he was glad to leave the town 
        D7                      G  
He was very very happy goin' back to Alabam' 
                                  A7  
When up ahead he saw a sign that said you're northward bound 
         D7                                           G  
He said give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around 
 
Repeat #2 
 
                                         A7  
He was driving down the right lane when ahead he saw a sign 
    D7                            G  
He had to make a left turn but could not get in line 
                                                  A7  
Now the tears came streaming down his cheeks and everybody heard him yell 
         D7                                  G  
Give me forty sticks of dynamite and I'll blow this thing to ... 
 
Repeat #2  
 
                                   A7  
Yeah give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around 
 D7                             G  
Give me forty acres it's the easiest way I've found 
                                     A7  
Now if you can turn it on a dime or turn it way downtown 
 D7                                        G  
But I need forty acres to turn this rig around 
 
                                 A7  
Yeah it takes me forty acres to turn this thing around 
 D7  
Better make that fifty acres 
 G                                     A7       D7  
Well maybe I can turn when I get to Kansas better make that Texas 
 G  
Heck with it Ill back all the way to Birmingham 
 A7          D7               G  
Cleveland how'd I get to Cleveland
