Note: Bb is also a A# but I find it easier to play this tune
If I notated it as a Bb.  You can capo the first fret and play
these chords ignoring the sharps and that one flat.  However,
that Bb becomes an A. Cm becomes a Bm when capoed.

           G#                   D#
The back forty was sold to make up for hard times
      Bb                    D# 
Then sold by the half acre lot overnight
      G#                    D#
The houses went up and the trees were cut down

D#                                     G#        D#      
Watching crews turn the county road in-to four lanes
D#                           G#     D#  
Old Sunday drive's turned in-to a chore
   G#            Bb       Cm         G#             Bb       D#    
Country ain't country no more Lord country ain't country no more
