40 Acres Guitar Tabs by Caedmons Call

Band: Caedmon's Call
Song: 40 Acres
Album: 40 Acres
Tabber: oddmenout4@yahoo.com


This song has at least two guitars.  The one in the beginning has a capo on two and it
plays the intro riff, while the next one comes in playing the chords with a capo on 4.
I'll tab all the chords for the second guitar, and the intro riff for the first.

You said call me Pandora,      call  me a fool

(all chords Guitar 2, capo 4)
Em9                                 Csus2
And I'm thinking this view it could do you some good
Em9                      
So drop these scales and take a look


Chorus:
D                Em7           Csus2
There's 40 acres and redemption to be found
D    Em7           Csus2
Just along down the way
D          Em7            Csus2
There is a place where no plow blade has turned the ground
D          Em7            Csus2        D                 G  Dsus  B/G
And you will turn it over, hey, 'cause out here hope remains
  Csus                 G     Dsus  B/G  Csus2
'Cause out here hope remains...


Verse 2:
G             Dsus     B/G      Csus2
Out here the Texas sky is as big as the sea
G                Dsus         B/G             Csus2
And you're alone in your room like an island floating free
G             Dsus         B/G             Csus2
Your spirit's hanging in a bottle out on a tree
G            Dsus                   B/G              Csus2
You say that you're the black sheep, I say you're still family

Em9                  Csus2
So throw that bottle to the waves
Em9                            Csus2
They'll bring you in to me and from the shore you will see

Chorus x1

Verse 3: (Guitar 1 is also playing intro riff)
G            Dsus              B/G         Csus2
Out here the Texas rain is the hardest I've ever seen
G               Dsus            B/G        Csus2
It'll wash your house away, but it'll also make you clean

Em9                    Csus2
Now these rocks they are crying too
Em9                    Csus2
And this whole land is calling out for you


Chorus x1 (with "Out here hope remains x4)

End on G
