Here's a Joe Diffie tune-not sure about the first part
of the chorus-any corrections welcome.

Joe Diffie John Deere Green


 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

One July in the midnight hour

He climbed upon the water tower
                      
 D7                 
 C       
 D
Stood on the rail and painted a ten foot heart

 G               
 C
On a hot summer night
         
 Em              
 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

 G       
 D      
 G
in John Deere Green


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