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
chorus
Em C
In John Deere Green
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
chorus
