        G
I got a hundred and sixty acres in the valley
                                      D7
Got a hundred and sixty acres of the best
        G                        C         G
Got an old stove there that'll cook three square
       D                              G
And a bunk where I can lay me down to rest.

       C                 G
Up at dawn to greet the sun
         D                         G
I've forgotten what a care or worry means
          C                 G
Head for home when day is done
          A7                          D7
With my pocket money jinglin' in my jeans.

            G
I've got a hundred and sixty acres full of sunshine
                                       D7
Got a hundred and sixty million stars above
        G                       C        G
Got an old paid hoss and the guy who's boss
        D                             G
On the hundred and sixty acres that I love!

       C                 G
Up at dawn to greet the sun
         D                          G
I've forgotten what a care or worry means
          C                 G
Head for home when day is done
          A7                        D7
With my pocket money jinglin' in my jeans.

         G
I've got a hundred and sixty acres full of sunshine
                                        D7
Got a hundred and sixty million stars above
        G                       C        G
Got an old paid hoss and the guy who's boss
        D                             G
On the hundred and sixty acres that I love!
     G                       C           G
Got an old paid hoss and the guy who's boss
       D                                    G
On the hundred and sixty acres that I love!
