There's a ^Fmaj7place I've been told, and when I grow old I may ^Emgo there, I've been ^Fmaj7told that my family's bones may lie under the ^Emsnow there, And with my little ^Cbag, and with my little ^Emdog, Who ^Fsleeps on my chest when he can't find a hole in a ^Glog, And when I ^Emgo, my dog will ^Fmaj7know

to leave his old fellow and find a new pillow,

^Gfar from the chill of the cold acre. Fmaj7|Em

Now there's a ^Fmaj7Hillydale here and a Lilydale there where there's ^Emjoy in the living, in voices that ring in the ^Fmaj7air ^EmI'd stay there but sooner or later I'd have to ^Cgo, where I don't ^Emknow, but when a ^Fdog knows it's on him he doesn't ask why he just ^Ggoes, And when I ^Emgo my bones will ^Fknow,

to pick up and follow the wagon that rolls

on the ^Gcold acre... My heart is a ^Ccold acre, in my chest is ^Ema cold acre, I don't ^Fgrow any good anymore though I've seeded my ^Gsoul with all kinds of love, that it aches so...

Fmaj7-Em (repeat x2) SOLO C-Em-F-G-Em-F--G-

Though I ^Fmaj7wake from them mouthing they leave me not able to ^Emtalk, These ^Fmaj7dreams are not nightmares but realms I've been choosing to ^Emwalk, With my little ^Cbag, and with my little ^Emdog, Who ^Frests on my stomach and barks at the oncoming ^Gfog, O but when I ^Emgo, with my lot in ^Ftow, Like a vampire carry my piece of the earth from th^Ge place of my death to the plots of my birth...

My heart is a^C cold acre, in my chest is ^Ema cold acre, I don't ^Fgrow any good anymore though I've seeded my ^Gsoul with all kinds of love that don't grow in a ^Ccold acre, nothing grows in ^Ema cold acre, I don't ^Fknow any good anymore from the bad ^G except there's one that you have and one that you had, O ^Emgrow, grow, grow, grow, ^Fgrow, And plant me in the only place I ^Gknow, That's the Cold Acre.

Fmaj7-Em (repeat x8)
