They were farm kids way down in Dixie
-4 4 5 5 4 3 4 3
Met in high school in the sixties
44 5 5 -4 4 5 -4 4 -4
Everyone knew it was love from the start
-4 4 5 5 4 5 -4 -4 4
One July in the midnight hour
4 4 45 5 4 3 4 3
He climbed upon the water tower
-4 4 4 5 4 -4 -4 4 6 6 5 4
Stood on the rail and painted a 10 foot heart
-4 5 -4 4
In John Deere Green
5 6 6 -5 5 -5
On a hot summer night
4 5 5 -4 4 5 4 4
He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene
4 5 6 6 -5 -5
In letters 3 foot high
5 6 -6 -6 -6
And the whole town said
6 65 6 5 6 -4
That he should have used red
-4 4 5 5 -4 4 -5
But it looked good to Charlene
-4 5 5-4 4
In John Deere Green
-4 4 4 5 5 5-4 -44
They settled down on 80 acres
-4 4 5 5 4 4 3 4 3
Raising sweet corn, kids, and tomatoes
-4 4 4 5 5 -4 4 5 -4 4 -4
They went together like a hand and a glove
-4 4 5 5 -4 4 -4 4
On a clear day from their front yard
4 4 5 5 4 4 3 4 3
If you look and know what to look for
-4 4 4 5 -4 4 -4 -4 4 6 6 54
Off to the east you can still read his words of love
-4 5 -4 4
In John Deere Green
5 6 6 -5 5 -5
On a hot summer night
4 5 5 -4 4 5 4 4
He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene
-4 5 6 6 -5 -5
In letters 3 foot high
5 6 -6 -6 -6
And the whole town said
6 65 6 5 6 -4
The boy should have used red
-4 4 5 5 -4 4 -5
But it looked good to Charlene
-4 5 5-4 4
In John Deere Green
-5 6 -5 6 -5 5 5 -4 5 -4
Now more than once the town has discovered
5 6 6-5 5 -5 5 4
Painting over, it ain’t no use
-5 6 -5 6 -5 5 5 5 -4 5 -4 4
There ain’t no paint in the world that’ll cover it
4 -5 -5 -5 5 -4
The heart keeps showing through
