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)

A2
