[Intro]
A


[Verse 1]
                                D
He was headin' into Boston in a big, long diesel truck
       E                                A
It was his first trip to Boston, he was having lots of luck
                                        D                 B7
He was going the wrong direction down a one-way street in town
    E                                               A
And this is what he said when the police chased him down


[Chorus]
                             D
Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around
         E                     A
It's the easiest way that I've found
                                   D                 B7
Some guys can turn it on a dime or turn it right downtown
    E                                    A
But I need forty acres to turn this rig around


[Verse 2]
                                          D
When he finally found where to unload, he had a dreadful shock
    E                                       A
His trailer pointed toward the road and his cab right to the dock
                                        D                  B7
And as he looked around him through the tears he made this sound
    E                                           A
Oh, give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around


[Chorus]
                             D
Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around
         E                     A
It's the easiest way that I've found
                                   D                 B7
Some guys can turn it on a dime or turn it right downtown
    E                                    A
But I need forty acres to turn this rig around

[Verse 3]
        Bb                           Eb
When he finally got unloaded, he was glad to leave the town
       F                         Bb
He was very, very happy, headin' back to Alabam'
                                   Eb                C7
When up ahead he saw a sign said, "You are Northward bound"
          F                                           Bb
He said, "Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around"


[Chorus]
                             Eb
Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around
         F                     Bb
It's the easiest way that I've found
                                   Eb                C7
Some guys can turn it on a dime or turn it right downtown
    F                                    Bb
But I need forty acres to turn this rig around


[Verse 4]
                                          Eb
He was driving down the right lane, when ahead he saw a sign
       F                               Bb
And he had to make a left turn, but he could not get in line
        Bb
And the tears were streaming down his cheeks
    Eb                 C7
And they all heard him yell
 F
"Give me forty sticks of dynamite and I'll blow this thing to ...!"


[Chorus]
                             Eb
Give me forty acres and I'll turn this rig around
         F                     Bb
It's the easiest way that I've found
                                   Eb                C7
Some guys can turn it on a dime or turn it right downtown
    F                                    Bb
But I need forty acres to turn this rig around
