Stood on the rail and (D) painted a 10ft (C) heart (D)

In (Em) John (D) Deere (C) green
(G) On a (D) hot summer ni(C)ght
He wrote (Em) Billy Bob (D) loves Charl(C)ene
(G) In letters (D) 3 foot (C) high
And the (Em) whole town said that he (D) should have used red

(G) They settled down on 80 acres
(C) Raising sweet corn, (G) kids and tomato's
They went together like a hand and a gl(D)ove
(G) On a clear day from their front yard
(C) If you look and (G) know what to look for
Off to the east you can (D) still read his words of (C) love (D)
