Verse 1:play intro
Out on these Texas plains you can see for a million lives
And there's a thousand exits between here and the state line
About the last time that I saw you
You said call me Pandora, call me a fool
 C#m7(w/ Gtr. 2)                 D6/9(w/ Gtr. 2)
And I'm thinking this view it could do you some good
 C#m7(w/ Gtr. 2)        D6/9(w/ Gtr. 2)
So drop these scales and take a look

Chorus:
 E                  A2           D6/9
There's 40 acres and redemption to be found
 E     A2           D6/9
Just along down the way
 E          A2               D6/9
There is a place where no plow blade has turned the ground
 E           A2       D6/9         E                A2 Bsus4 C#m7 D6/9
And you will turn it over, 'cause out here hope remains
                           A2  Bsus4  C#m7  D6/9
'Cause out here hope remains...

Verse 2:
 A2           Bsus4      C#m7            D6/9
Out here the Texas sky is as big as the sea
 A2                 Bsus4               C#m7           D6/9
And you're alone in your room like an island floating free
 A2            Bsus4        C#m7           D6/9
Your spirit's hanging in a bottle out on a tree
 A2                          Bsus4        C#m7              D6/9
You say that you're the black sheep, I say you're still family
    C#m7(w/ Gtr. 2)      D6/9(w/ Gtr. 2)
So throw that bottle to the waves
   C#m7(w/ Gtr. 2)               D6/9(w/ Gtr. 2)
They'll bring you in to me and from the shore you will see

Chorus
(Repeat last line)

Interlude:
A2  Bsus4  C#m7  D6/9
A2  Bsus4  C#m7  D6/9

Verse 3:play intro
Out here the Texas rain is the hardest I've ever seen
It'll wash your house away, but it'll also make you clean
Now these rocks they are crying too
And this whole land is calling out for you

Chorus
(repeat last line 2x)
