40 Acres (album) by Caedmons Call
1. There You Go
There You Go- Words and Music by Aaron Tate
D5 Bm7 G5 G/B Asus Ano5
Is this the strange feeling
D5 Bm7 G5 G/B Asus Ano5
Of you working all to good
D5 Bm7 G5 G/B Asus Ano5
'Cause I am so confused
D5 Bm7 G5 G/B Asus Ano5
I don't even ask for what I should
D Bm G A
When I asked for and deserved a stone
D Bm G A
You broke and gave your body as bread
D Bm G A D Bm
And even the stone that dropped down and rolled away
G
Spoke of the one who bled
D A2 G
There you go working good from my bad
D A2 G
There you go making robes from my rags
D A2 G
There you go melting crowns from my calves
D A2 G
There you go working good of all I have
G
Till all I have's not that bad
When I asked for and deserved a serpent
You gave a net full of fish
And even the serpent that told the lie
When lifted high foretold the gift
Repeat chorus
A7 A7sus4 A7
For you so loved the unlovable
A7 A7sus4 Badd4
That you gave the ineffable
Aadd2 Badd4
That who so believes the unbelievable
Aadd2 E A2 E Bsus4 A2
Will gain the unattainable
E A2 E Bsus4 A2

2. Thankful
Thankful Words and Music by Derek Webb
Capo 5th fret
E E7 E E7 E
You know I ran across
E6/9
An old box of letters
A2 Am E E7
When I was bagging up some clothes for goodwill
E E7 E E7 E
And you know I had to laugh
E6/9
At the same old struggles
A2 Am E E7
That plagued me then are plaguing me still
'Cause I know the road is long
From the ground to glory
But a boy can hope he's getting some place
But you see I'm running from
The very clothes I'm wearing
And dressed like this I'm fit for the chase
D2 A2 E
�Cause there is none righteous
D2 A2 E
Not one who understands
D2 A2 E D2
There is none who seeks God no not one
A2
I said, no not one
E F#add4 D2 A2 E E7 E
And so I am thankful that I'm incapable of doing any good on my own
'Cause we're all still-born
Dead in our transgressions
Shackled up to the sin we hold so dear
What part can I play
In the work of redemption
'Cause I can't refuse and I cannot add a thing
'Cause I am just like Lazarus
And I can hear your voice
I stand and rub my eyes and walk to you
Because I have no choice
And so I am thankful that I'm incapable of doing any good on my own
Said I'm so thankful that I'm incapable of doing any good on my own yeah
'Cause it's by grace I have been saved
And through faith it's not my own
It is a gift of God and not by works
Lest anyone should boast
Repeat chorus
D2 A2 E until end

3. Shifting Sand
Shifting sand Words and music by Aaron Tate
Tune down 1/2 step
E7 A(add2) B(add4)
Sometimes I believe all the lies
E7 A(add2) B(add4)
So I can do the things I should despise
E7 A(add2) B(add4)
And everyday I am swayed
E7 A(add2) B(add4)
By whatever is on my mind
E7 A(add2) B(add4)
I hear it all depends on my faith
E7 A(add2) B(add4)
So I'm feeling precarious
E7 A(add2) B(add4)
The only problem I have with these mysteries
E7 A(add2) B(add4)
Is they're so mysterious
G#m7 F#m E
And like a consumer I've been thinking
A2
If I could just get a bit more
G#m F#m E
More than my fifteen minutes of faith
A2 A2II A(add2)
Then I'd be secure
Chorus:
E A2
My faith is like shifting sand
C#m B(add4) A(add2)
Changed by every wave
E A2
My faith is like shifting sand
C#m B(add4) A(add2)
So I stand on grace
I've begged you for some proof
For my Thomas eyes to see
A slithering staff, a leprous hand
And lions resting lazily
A glimpse of your back-side glory
And this soaked altar going ablaze
But you know I've seen so much
And I explained it away
Chorus
Bridge:
B(add4)
Waters rose as my doubts reigned
A(add2)
My sand-castle faith it slipped away
G#m F#m
Found myself standing on your grace
It'd been there all the time

4. Faith in my eyes
Faith my eyes Words and music by Derek Webb
Capo 1st fret
Intro G Gmaj7 C2
Em7 Em9 Am7 G/B C2
C2 G/B Am7 C/G D2/F#
As I survey the ground for ants
C2 G/B D7sus4 G C/G
Looking for a place to sit and read
C2 G/B Am7 C/G D2/F#
I'm reminded of the streets of my hometown
C2 G/B D7sus4 G C/G
How they're much like this concrete that's warm beneath my feet
And how I'm all wrapped up in my mother's face
With a touch of my father just up around the eyes
And the sound of my brother's laugh
But more wrapped up in what binds our ever distant lives
G Gmaj7 C2
But if I must go
Em7 Em9 Am7 G/B C2
Things I trust will be better off without me
G Gmaj7 C2
But I don't want to know
Em7 Em9 Am7 G/B C2
Life is better off a mystery
C2 D7sus4 G C/G G
So keep 'em coming these lines on the road
C2 D7sus4 Em G
And keep me responsible be it a light or heavy load
C2 D7sus4 G C/G G
And keep me guessing with these blessings in disguise
C2 D7sus4 G C/G
And I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes
Hometown weather is on TV
And I imagine the lives of the people living there
And I'm curious if they imagine me
Cause they just wanna leave; I wish that I could stay
But I get turned around
And I mistake my happiness for blessing
But I'm blessed as the poor
Still I judge success by how I'm dressing
C2 D7sus4 G C/G G
So keep 'em coming these lines on the road
C2 D7sus4 Em G
And keep me responsible be it a light or heavy load
C2 D7sus4 G C/G G
And keep me guessing with these blessings in disguise
C2 D7sus4 F2 C2 G C/G G
And I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes
F2 C2 D
La-la-la�s
So I'll sing a song of my hometown
I'll breathe the air and walk the streets
Maybe find a place to sit and read
And the ants are welcome company
Repeat chorus
C2 D7sus4 G C/G G
I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes.
C2 D7sus4 F2 C2 G C/G G
And I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes...

5. Where I Began
Where I began Words and music by Aaron Tate
G D C D C
The grass looked greener on the other side so I tried to
G D C D C
Snatch myself from your hand
G D C D C
Caught a boat to anywhere but Nineveh and, well, you know, I
G D C D C
Got spit back on dry land.
Give me purity and give me continence
But oh no, not yet
Like a coin hiding in the corner trying not to be swept
I was trying not to be swept.
D C G
Kicking against these goads sure did cut up my feet
D C
And didn't your hands get bloody as you washed them clean.
G D C
Here I am again, back where I began
G D C
Try as I may I can't get away from you
G D C
And all of these roads that lead me to roam, bring me back home.
G D C G D C
Here I am again, back where I began.
So you have yourself your ninety nine
Isn't that enough for you
Still you followed me to the shadowed valley
Carried me on your shoulders too.
I've done the work of Sisyphus
Thinking that I could get over this hill
But the one thing I can't get over now...(is the)
Is the force of your will.
Repeat chorus 2x

6. Table for two
Table for two Words and music by Derek Webb
Capo 4th fret
D2 D2/C# D2/B D2/A Gno3 D2/F# Em9 A7sus4
Danny and I spent another late night over pancakes
Bm(add4) Bm(add4)/F# E7 G Gsus G
We talked about soccer and how every man's just the same
D2 D2/C# D2/B D2/A Gno3 D2/F# Em9 A7sus4
We made speculation on the 'who's and the 'when's of our futures
Bm(add4) Bm(add4)/F# E7 A7 D2 D
And how everyone's lonely but still we just couldn't complain
Gno3 D2/F# Em7 D2 A7sus4 A7
And how we just hate being alone
Gno3 D2/F# Em7 D2 A7sus4 A7
Could I have missed my only chance
Gno3 D2/F# Em7 D2 A7sus4 A7
And now I'm just wasting my time
G Gsus G
Looking around
But you know I know better I'm not gonna worry 'bout nothing
'Cause if the birds and the flowers survive then I'll make it okay
If given a chance and a rock see which one breaks a window
And see which one keeps me up all night and into the day
Because I'm so scared of being alone
That I forgot what house I live in
But it's not my job to wait by the phone
For her to call
Well this day's been crazy but everything's happened on schedule
From the rain and the cold to the drink that I spilled on my shirt
'Cause You knew how You'd save me before I fell dead in the garden
And You knew this day long before You made me out of dirt
And You know the plan You have for me
And You can't plan the ends and not plan the means
And so I suppose I just need some peace
To get me to sleep

7. Climb On
Climb on (A back that�s strong) Words and music by Shawn Colvin & John Leventhal
Capo 2nd fret
Intro- G Gadd2 G C2 2x
G D/F# G C2 Dsus D
Oh, my soul, sometimes we don't know what to do
Em D/F# G
We work so hard at being tough on our own
G/B C2
But now it's me and you
G D/F# G
Let's give it up, sad bones
C2 Dsus D
'Cause we all fall on hard times
Em D/F# G
But you don't have to stand up all alone
G/B C2
Just put your hand in mine
D Dsus Em
Climb on��..
C2 G/B
A back that's strong
Am7 D/F# G
Hey hey, you can get what you want
Am7 G/B C2 G/B Am7
Climb on a back that's strong
If you could save me a place in heaven
With a clean well lighted room
I'd muscle up to Armageddon
Wave to you darlin' be home soon
If you could show me the story of love
I would write it again and again
And then you could be the women you need
If you'd just let me be the man that I am
Repeat Chorus
Oh, I don't know
Sometimes we try to hard to see
But we've got one down and one more to go
That's when you say to me
Repeat chorus

8. Petrified Heart
Petrified heart Words and music by Aaron Tate
Capo 1st fret and also capo 3rd fret with low E string open
D C C D
This old heart's been left
D C C C2
Out on my sleeve
G/B D C C D
And I have paid as it's been rent
D C C C2 G/B D
Into pieces
D C C D
Seems everyone I've loved has
D C C C2 G/B D
Taken a bit of my insides
D C C D
I'm scattered as the woman whose body
D C C C2 G/B D
Was torn for the twelve tribes
G D C C D
When did my heart get so petrified
G D C C D
When did it get so hard to feel
G D C C
When did my heart get so afraid to love
D D C C D
When did it get so hard
And the easy-living Gnostic proud
Use their knowledge
Like a wrecking ball to tear me down
Flooding me with their fallacies
I can't walk on this water
I'm starting to drown
Repeat chorus
D
Strike this rock with your rod
C
I'll take the blows
D C
Till your living water begins to flow
D C
As it flowed from the man of sorrow's sides
D C
On that day when his body was torn for the twelve tribes
D
Was torn for the twelve tribes

9. Somewhere North
Somewhere north
Fmaj9 G Gsus4
It's a muggy night in Houston
Fmaj9 G Gsus4 Fmaj9
And all the intersections are like full serve stations
G Gsus4 Am7 Gsus4 G
I'm on my way to a familiar place
Fmaj9 G Gsus4
It's cold in Kansas city
Fmaj9 G Gsus4 Fmaj9
And you can no more hear me than I can see your face
G Gsus4 Am7
How I wish it was just you and me
G C5 Am7 Fmaj9
We wouldn't have to talk above the crowd
G Gsus4
We wouldn't have to talk so loud
C5 Am7 Gsus4 Fmaj9
'Cause I give you my life and all I am
G
But what have I to give
C5 Am7 Gsus4 Fmaj9 G
So I hand you a candid photograph of this little boy
D2/F# Fmaj9
'Cause I've nothing to my name
Gsus4 Fmaj9
But I can give you that
I don't miss the driving
Seems like forever
And I'm always driving in my mind
And wearing out the road that gets me there
And I'm driving till my eyes just can't see straight
But I suppose that it's getting late
Repeat chorus
Am7 Fmaj9
I may never find the sleep
Am7 Fmaj9
I've lost all feeling in my hands and
Am7 Fmaj9
Feet may touch the ground but
G Gsus4 C5 Am7 Gsus4 Fmaj9 G
My mind's somewhere north of here

10. Daring Daylight Escape
Daring daylight escape Words and music by Derek Webb
Capo 2nd fret
G F C F C
I've got my mind made up, I've got to love you or leave you fast
F# G F C F C
Cause I've been thinking clear and I don't know how long it'll last
F# G F C F C
Cause just like Uri Geller I'm bound to twist the facts around
F# G F C F C
I've got to get them straight before my baby up and leaves town
D B7
Cause I can't walk on water
Em A7sus4 A7
And if I chase you I might drown
C D
And I'm already up to my neck
G F
If I may pose a question it'll only take a second
C D
Cause I know that it's getting late.
G F
And depending on your answer I might have to pack
C D
And make a daring daylight escape
C D
Because it's either high time to make you mine
G B7 Em E7b13
Or I swear it's time to get outta town
C D G F C
So please say yes quick cause the sun's going down
London's nice but it's the last place you wanna go
But there's no crime and you can catch a broadway show
Cause it's just so far and it's bound to get a hold on you
And I've got front page headlines pulled right outta yesterday's news
You can read all about it
About boy meets girl and then
screws the whole thing up
Just like always
Repeat chorus
It's no crime to love you
But my heart's still doing time
It's acting on it's best behavior
Repeat chorus

11. 40 Acres
40 Acres
Capo 4th fret
G Dsus G/B C2
Out on these Texas plains you can see for a million lives
G Dsus G/B C2
And there's a thousand exits between here and the state line
G Dsus G/B C2
About the last time that I saw you
G Dsus G/B C2
You said call me Pandora, call me a fool
G/B C2
And I'm thinking this view it could do you some good
G/B C2
So drop these scales and take a look
D Em7 C2
There's 40 acres and redemption to be found
D Em7 C2
Just along down the way
D Em7 C2
There is a place where no plow blade has turned the ground
D Em7 C2 D G Dsus
And you will turn it over,(hey) 'cause out here hope remains
G/B C2 G Dsus G/B C2
'Cause out here hope remains...
Out here the Texas sky is as big as the sea
And you're alone in your room like an island floating free
Your spirit's hanging in a bottle out on a tree
You say that you're the black sheep, I say you're still family
So throw that bottle to the waves
They'll bring you in to me and from the shore you will see
Repeat Chorus
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
Repeat Chorus
