[Verse 1]
G              Dsus4/A     G/B               Cadd9
Out on these Texas plains, you can see for a million lives
G             Dsus4/A        G/B                  Cadd9
And there's a thousand exits between here and the state line
G         Dsus4/A        G/B   Cadd9
About the last time that I saw you, you said
G       Dsus4/A  G/B         Cadd9
Call me Pandora,   call me a fool

[Pre-Chorus]
Gmaj7/B                              Cadd9
And I'm thinking this view, it could do you some good, so
Gmaj7/B               Cadd9
Drop these scales and take a look

[Chorus]
D          Em7       Cadd9
There's 40 acres and redemption to be found
D     Em7               Cadd9
Just along and down the way
D          Em7            Cadd9
There is a place where no plow blade has turned the ground
D            Em7           Cadd9
And you will turn it over, hey
                     G  Dsus4/A  G/B  Cadd9
'Cause out here hope remains
                     G  Dsus4/A  G/B  Cadd9
'Cause out here hope remains

[Verse 2]
G              Dsus4/A  G/B                Cadd9
Out here the Texas sky, it's as big as the sea
G              Dsus4/A        G/B            Cadd9
And you're alone in your room like an island floating free
G             Dsus4/A G/B             Cadd9
Your spirit's hanging in a bottle out on a tree
G            Dsus4/A                 G/B                Cadd9
You say that you're the black sheep; I say you're still family

[Pre-Chorus]
Gmaj7/B           Cadd9
Throw that bottle to the waves
Gmaj7/B                     Cadd9
They'll bring you in to me, from the shore you will see

[Chorus]
D          Em7       Cadd9
There's 40 acres and redemption to be found
D     Em7               Cadd9
Just along and down the way
D          Em7            Cadd9
There is a place where no plow blade has turned the ground
D            Em7           Cadd9
And you will turn it over, hey
                     G  Dsus4/A  G/B  Cadd9
'Cause out here hope remains
                     G  Dsus4/A  G/B  Cadd9
'Cause out here hope remains
                     G  Dsus4/A  G/B  Cadd9
'Cause out here hope remains

[Verse 3]
G            Dsus4/A    G/B                 Cadd9
Out here the Texas rain is the hardest I've ever seen
G               Dsus4/A        G/B        Cadd9
It'll wash your house away but it'll also make you clean

[Pre-Chorus]
Gmaj7/B                  Cadd9
Now these rocks, they're crying too
    Gmaj7/B            Cadd9
And this whole land is calling out for you

[Chorus]
D          Em7       Cadd9
There's 40 acres and redemption to be found
D     Em7               Cadd9
Just along and down the way
D          Em7            Cadd9
There is a place where no plow blade has turned the ground
D            Em7           Cadd9
And you will turn it over, hey
                     G  Dsus4/A  G/B  Cadd9
'Cause out here hope remains
                     G  Dsus4/A  G/B  Cadd9
'Cause out here hope remains
                     G  Dsus4/A  G/B  Cadd9
'Cause out here hope remains
                     G  Dsus4/A  G/B  Cadd9  G
'Cause out here hope remains
