Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: C
[Intro]
C G Am F G D G
C G Am F G D G
[Verse 1]
C Am F G C
Mom & Dad bought an old farm, across from Grandpa's Woods
Am D G
And they called it Burr Oak Acres as they moved in for good
C Am F D7
I suppose they could do better, for what they could afford to give
C Am F C Am F G
But it kinda' suits the way they like to live.
[Verse 2]
C Am F G C
We shared coffee in the kitchen as the kids played in the barn
Am D G
Or scrambled on the tractor, or ran around the farm
E E7 Am F
To build a home, or a memory, takes love and sweat and tears
C Am Dm G C C7
I can see another chapter started here
[Chorus]
F G C Am
And they called it Burr Oak Acres, right across from Grandpa's woods
D7 Dm G
And I kinda' wish I lived there, but I know I never could
E E7 Am F
I'd claim it for my own, but I'd prob'ly be misunderstood
C G Am F C Am F G
They called it Burr Oak Acres, right across from Grandpa's woods
[Instrumental]
C G Am F G
[Verse 3]
C Am F G C
I found an old broken windmill, and I climbed up to the top
Am D7 G
And I looked out over burr oak trees and fields of growing crops
E E7 Am F
Suddenly I felt so small, and all alone up there
C Am Dm G C C7
Will I ever feel at home again anywhere?
[Chorus]
F G C Am
And they called it Burr Oak Acres, right across from Grandpa's woods
D7 Dm G
And I kinda' wish I lived there, but I know I never could
E E7 Am F
I'd claim it for my own, but I'd prob'ly be misunderstood
C G Am F G
They called it Burr Oak Acres, right across from Grandpa's woods
[Instrumental]

C Am D G
E E7 Am F
C G Am F G
[Verse 4]
C Am F G C
Ain't it funny how time passes - it doesn't care if you ask why
Am D G
And you can never really go home again, no matter how you try
E E7 Am F
You just pray the door stays open, and Ma greets you with a smile,
C Am Dm G C C7
"Coffee's brewin', come in and sit awhile"
[Chorus]
F G C Am
And they called it Burr Oak Acres, right across from Grandpa's woods
D7 Dm G
A part of me will always live there, though I wonder how it could
E E7 Am F
I can visit here, but I won't stay any longer than I should
C G Am F G C Am F G C
They called it Burr Oak Acres, right across from Grandpa's woods
