Acres Of Clams

1^e strofe: I'veCwandered all over this country, prospecting and digging forAmgold; I'veCtunneled, hydraulicked and cradled and I nearlyG7froze in theCcold; AndCI nearly froze in the cold (me boys), and I nearly froze in theAmcold; I'veCtunneled, hydraulicked and cradled and I nearlyG7froze in theCcold

2^e strofe: ForCone who got wealthy by mining, I saw many hundreds getAmpoor; ICmade up my mind to go digging for something aG7little moreCsure; ForCsomething a little more sure (me boys), for something a little moreAmsure; ICmade up my mind to go digging for something aG7little moreCsure

3^e strofe: ICrolled up my grub in my blanket, I left all my tools on theAmground; ICstarted one morning to shank it for the country theyG7call PugetCSound; For theCcountry they call Puget Sound (me boys), for the country they call PugetAmSound; ICstarted one morning to shank it for the country theyG7call PugetCSound

Laatste strofe: NoClonger a slave of ambition, I laugh at the world and itsAmshams; And ICthink of my happy condition, surrounded byG7acres ofCclams; Sur-Crounded by acres of clams (me boys), surrounded by acres ofAmclams; And ICthink of my happy condition, surrounded byG7acres ofCclams
