[Intro]
[G] [C] [G] [C] [(x2)]
[Verse1]
[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 climed up on [G]the water tower
[G]Stood on the rail and [D]painted a 10ft [C]hea[D]heart
[Chorus]
In [Em]John [D]Deere [C]green
[G]On a [D]hot summer n[C]night
He wrote [Em]Billy Bob [D]loves Char[C]Charlene
[G]In letters [D]3 foot h[C]high
And the [Em]whole town
said that he [D]should have used red
But it [G]looked good to Char[C]Charlene
In [Em]John [D]Deere [G]green
[Verse2]
[G]They settled down on 80 acres
[C]Raising sweet corn,[G]corn,kids and tomaters
[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]lo[D]love
[Chorus]
In [Em]John [D]Deere [C]green
[G]On a [D]hot summer n[C]night
He wrote [Em]Billy Bob [D]loves Char[C]Charlene
[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]Charlene
In [Em]John [D]Deere [G]green
[Bridge]
[D]Now more then once the [G]town has dicovered
[C]Painting over it ain't no [G]use
[D]There ain't no paint in the [G]world that'll cover it
[C]The heart keeps showing [D]through
[Chorus]
