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
CG 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 D7CD Stood on the rail and painted a ten foot heart
chorus EmC In John Deere Green GC On a hot summer night EmC He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene GC In letters three foot high
Em And the whole town said D that he should had used red GC But it looked good to Charlene GDG 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
