[ Предположительная тональность: C ] 056 {title:Acres of Clams} {st:Judge Francis B Henry} {c:tune:Rosin the Beau} [C]I've travelled all over this country, Prospecting and digging for [F]gold. I've [C]tunneled, hydraulic'd and cradled, And I have been [G7]frequently [C]sold. {c:Chorus:} And [C]I have been frequently sold, And I have been frequently [F]sold. I've [C]tunneled, hydraulic'd and cradled, And I have been [G7]frequently [C]sold. For one that get riches by mining, Perceiving that hundreds grow poor, I made up my mind to try farming, The only pursuit that is sure. {c:Chorus.} G rolling my grub in my blanket, I left all my tools on the ground, I started one morning to shank it, For a country they call Puget Sound. {c:Chorus.} Arriving flat broke in mid winter, I found it enveloped in fog, And covered all over with timber, Thick as hair on the back of a dog. {c:Chorus.} I staked out a claim in the forest, And set myself down to hard toil, For two years I chopped and I loggered, But I never got down to the soil. No longer the slave of ambition, I laugh at the world and it's shams, I think of my happy condition, Surrounded by acres of clams. {c:Chorus.} # # Submitted to the ftp.nevada.edu:/pub/guitar archives # by Steve Putz putz@parc.xerox.com> # 7 September 1992
