Acres Of Clams
- Lyrics & Chords

C |
I've |
traveled all over this country, |
|
Am |
Prospecting and digging for |
gold. |
|
C |
I've |
tunneled, hydraulicked and cradled, |
F |
C |
G7 |
C |
And, |
I have been |
frequently |
sold. |
First Chorus:
C |
And I have been frequently sold, |
|
Am |
And I have been frequently |
sold, |
|
C |
I've |
tunneled, hydraulicked and cradled, |
F |
C |
G7 |
C |
And, |
I have been |
frequently |
sold. |
For one who gets riches by mining
Perceiving that hundreds grow poor,
I made up my mind to try farming,
The only pursuit that is sure.
Second Chorus:
The only pursuit that is sure, (twice)
I made up mind to try farming
The only pursuit that is sure.
So, rolling my grub in my blanket,
I left all my tools on the ground,
And started one morning to shank it
For a country they call Puget Sound.
Third Chorus:
For a country they call Puget Sound, (twice)
And started one morning to shank it
For a country they call Puget Sound.
No longer the slave of ambition,
I laugh at the world and its shams,
And I think of my happy condition
Surrounded by acres of clams.
Fourth Chorus:
Surrounded by acres of clams, (twice)
And think of my happy condition
Surrounded by acres of clams.
