Intro G C G C x2

G                   C
They were farm kids way down in Dixie
G                       C
They met in high school in the sixties
G                                  D
Everyone knew it was love from the start
G           C
One July in the midnight hour
G               C
He climed up on the water tower
G                     D              C  D
Stood on the rail and painted a 10ft heart

In John Deere green
G               C
On a hot summer night
         Em        D         C
He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene
G                 C
In letters 3 foot high
        Em                      D
And the whole town said that he should have used red
       G                  C
But it looked good to Charlene

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