|(G) / / / |(G) / (C)(Bb)| x 4
 
(Verse 1)
(G) They were farm kids  way down in Dixie
(C) They met in high school (G) in the sixties
(G) Everyone knew it was love from the (D)start
(G) One July in  the midnight hour
(C) He climbed up on the (G) water tower
(G) Stood on the rail and (D)painted a 10 foot (C)heart (D)
 
(Chorus)
In (Em)John (D)Deere (C)green
(G) On a (D)hot summer (C)night
He wrote (Em)Billy Bob (D)loves Char-(C)lene
(G) In letters (D)3 foot (C)high
And the (Em)whole town said that he (D)should have used red
But it (G)looked good (C)to Charlene
In (Em)John (D)Deere (G)green

(Verse 2)
(G) They settled down on 80 acres
(C) Raisin' sweet corn, (G) kids and tomatoes
(G) They went together like a hand and a (D)glove
(G) On a clear day from their front yard
(C) If you look and (G) know what to look for
(G)Off to the east you can (D)still read his words of (C)love (D)
 
(Chorus)
In (Em)John (D)Deere (C)green
(G) On a (D)hot summer (C)night
He wrote (Em)Billy Bob (D)loves Char-(C)lene
(G) In letters (D)3 foot (C)high
And the (Em)whole town said the boy (D)should have used red
But it (G)looked good to Char-(C)lene
In (Em)John (D)Deere (G)green

(Bridge)
Now (D)more then once the (G)town has dicovered
Painting (C)over it ain't no (G)use
There (D)ain't no paint in the (G)world that'll cover it
The (C)heart keeps showin' (D)through
