_ [Gm] _ [G] They were farm kids way down in [C] Dixie,
In high [G] school in the sixties.
Everyone knew it was love from [D] the _ start. _ _
_ _ [G] One July in the midnight [C] hour,
He climbed up on [G] the water tower,
Stood on the rail [D] and painted a ten [C]-foot _ heart.
[D] _ _
_ _ [Em] _ [D] Then John [C] Deere Green,
_ _ [G] _ [D] On a hot [C] summer night,
He [Em] wrote Billy [D] Bob loves [C] Charlie,
_ [G] _ In [D] letters three [C] foot high.
_ [G] [Em] And the whole town said [D] that he should have used red,
[G] But he loved good to _ [C] Charlie.
_ _ _ _ _ [D] [Em] Then [D] John [G] Deere Green, _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ [G] They settled down on 80 [C] acres,
Raising sweet [G] corn, kids and tomatoes.
They went _ together like a hand [D] and a glove. _ _ _
_ _ [G] On a clear day from their front [C] yard,
If you look [G] and know what to look for,
Off to the east [D] you can still read his words [C] of love.
_ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [Em] _ [D] Then John [C] Deere _ [G] Green,
_ [D] On a hot [C] summer night,
He [Em] wrote Billy [D] Bob loves [C] Charlie,
_ _ [G] In [D] letters three [C] foot high.
[D] [Em] And the whole town said that [D] he should have used red,
[G] But he loved good to _ [C] Charlie.
_ _ _ _ _ [D] [Em] Then John [D] _ [G] Deere Green, _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ [G] How _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [D] more than [G] was the town,
Has discovered [C] crazing over it [G] ain't no use.
_ [D] There ain't [G] no pain in the world that'll cover [C] it,
The heart keeps showing [D] through.
