Tabber: oddmenout4@yahoo.com
This song has at least two guitars. The one in the beginning has a capo on two and it
plays the intro riff, while the next one comes in playing the chords with a capo on 4.
I'll tab all the chords for the second guitar, and the intro riff for the first.

Em9 Csus2
And I'm thinking this view it could do you some good
Em9
So drop these scales and take a look
Chorus:
D Em7 Csus2
There's 40 acres and redemption to be found
D Em7 Csus2
Just along down the way
D Em7 Csus2
There is a place where no plow blade has turned the ground
D Em7 Csus2 D G Dsus B/G
And you will turn it over, hey, 'cause out here hope remains
Csus G Dsus B/G Csus2
'Cause out here hope remains...
Verse 2:
G Dsus B/G Csus2
Out here the Texas sky is as big as the sea
G Dsus B/G Csus2
And you're alone in your room like an island floating free
G Dsus B/G Csus2
Your spirit's hanging in a bottle out on a tree
G Dsus B/G Csus2
You say that you're the black sheep, I say you're still family
Em9 Csus2
So throw that bottle to the waves
Em9 Csus2
They'll bring you in to me and from the shore you will see
Chorus x1

Verse 3: (Guitar 1 is also playing intro riff)
G Dsus B/G Csus2
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
Em9 Csus2
Now these rocks they are crying too
Em9 Csus2
And this whole land is calling out for you
Chorus x1 (with "Out here hope remains x4)
