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.
