THE COLD ACRE - Augie March

Tuning: Standard
So, deceptively the intro/verse just sits on a Bm while the lead guitar plays a little lick that seems to
move between a Bm arpeggio and an A major arpeggio. I'm almost certain that the whole band just sits on the Bm
while the lead does its thing.
However I decided it sounded better with one guitar in the verses to alternate between Bm and F#m.
You can either or come up with your own idea on what sounds best for you.

INTRO:
Bm
There's a Bmplace I've been told
And when I grow old I may F#mgo there
I've been Bmtold that my family's bones
May lie under the F#msnow there
With my little Dbag, with my little F#mdog
Who Gsleeps on my chest
When he can't find a hole in a Alog
When I F#mgo, my dog will Gknow
To leave his old fellow and find a new pillow
AFar from the chill of the cold acre
*INTRO*
Now there's a BmHillydale here and a Lilydale there
Where there's F#mjoy in the living, voices that ring in the Bmair
IF#m'd stay there but sooner or later I'd have to Dgo
Where I don't F#mknow but when a Gdog knows it's on him
He doesn't ask why he just Agoes, when I F#mgo my bones Gwill know
To pick up and follow the wagon that rolls on tAhe cold acre
CHORUS:
My heart is a Dcold acre and my chest is F#ma cold acre
I don't Ggrow any good anymore though I've seeded my Asoul
With all kinds of love, that it aches so
*SOLO OVER VERSE*
This may be with an octave pedal or just playing octaves but it sounds fine without

E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Though I Bmwake from them mouthing
They leave me not able to F#mtalk
All these Bmdreams are not nightmares
But realms I've been choosing to F#mwalk
With my little Dbag, with my little F#mdog
Who Grests on my stomach and barks at the oAncoming fog
O but when I F#mgo with my lot in Gtow
Like a vampire carry my piece in the earth
ATo the place of my death to the plots of my birth
CHORUS:
My heart is a Dcold acre, in my chest is F#ma cold acre
I don't Ggrow any good anymore though I've seeded my Asoul
With all kinds of love that don't grow in a Dcold acre
Nothing groF#mws in a cold acre
I don't Ggrow any good anymore from the bad
But there's Aone that you have, one that you had
O F#mgrow, grow, grow, grow, Ggrow
And plant me in the only Aplace I know that's the cold acre
END WITH INTRO
