[A#] [G]
They
[C] [G] were farm kids way down in [C] Dixie, they met in high [G] school in the 60s.
Everyone knew it was love [D] from the start.
[G] In July in the midnight [C] hour, they climbed up on [G] the water tower, stood on the rail [D] and
painted a ten [C]-foot heart.
[D]
[Em] In [D] John [C] Deere Green, [G] on a hot [C] summer night, he [Em] wrote Billy [D] Bob Love [C]
Charlene [G] in [D] letters
three [C] foot high.
[Em] And the whole town said [D] that he shouldn't use red, [G] but it looked good to [C]
Charlene.
[Em] In [D] John [G] Deere Green,
[A#] they settled down on 80 [C] acres, raising sweet [G] corn, kids and tomatoes.
They went together like a hand [D] in 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 you [D] can still read his words [C] aloud.
