John Deere Green Chords

[Verse 1]
G
They were farm kids way down in Dixie
            C                     G
They met in high school in the sixties
                                   D7
Everyone knew it was love from the start
G
One July in the midnight hour
C                   G
He climbed upon the water tower
                      D7                 C       D
Stood on the rail and painted a ten foot heart
 
[Chorus]
   Em    D     C
In John Deere Green
G               C
On a hot summer night
         Em         D     C
He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene
G                      C
In letters three foot high
        Em
And the whole town said
        D
that he should had used red
        G                 C
But it looked good to Charlene
Em       D      G
in John Deere Green
 
[Verse 2]
G
They settled down on eighty acres
C                   G
Raising sweet corn, kids and tomatoes
                                       D7
They went together like a hand and a glove
G
On a clear day from their front yard
C                  G
If you're lookin, know what to look for
                         D7                      C       D
Off to the east you can still read his words of love
 
[Chorus]
   Em    D     C
In John Deere Green
G               C
On a hot summer night
         Em         D     C
He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene
G                      C
In letters three foot high
        Em
And the whole town said
        D
that he should had used red
        G                 C
But it looked good to Charlene
Em       D      G
in John Deere Green
 
[Bridge]
     D                 G
Now more then once the town has dicovered
         C                G
Painting over it ain't no use
       D                     G
There ain't no paint in the world that'll cover it
     C                     D   D
The heart keeps showin' through
 
[Chorus]
   Em    D     C
In John Deere Green
G               C
On a hot summer night
         Em         D     C
He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene
G                      C
In letters three foot high
        Em
And the whole town said
        D
that he should had used red
        G          D       C
But it looked good to Charlene
Em       D      G
