[Verse 1]
D G D
The seventh son born to an Arkansas farmer
Bm G D A7
And a hard workin' mother of twelve
D G D
Who never could find any time or a dollar
G A D
That she could just spend on herself
[Verse 2]
D G D
I remember things now, that my daddy once told me
Bm G D A7
The old man grew wiser with time
D G D
And a life on the farm, that in a boy's view was awful
G A D A7
Has changed in these same older eyes
[Chorus]
D A D
Oh the weeds have grown high on the farm back in Dixie
Bm
Where cotton and corn used to grow
D G D
And the memories run wild in this Arkansas farmboy
A D A7
Who'd give all he owns just to go
[Instrumental]
D G D A7 x2
D
[Verse 3]
D G D
I recall how grandaddy held me and taught me
Bm A D A7
The melody to "In The Pines"
D G D
On a five-dollar guitar that led to a fortune
G A D A7
I'd trade just to go back in time
[Chorus]
D A D
Oh the weeds have grown high on the farm back in Dixie
Bm
Where cotton and corn used to grow
D G D
And the memories run wild in this Arkansas farmboy
A D
Who'd give all he owns just to go
[Outro]
D A D
Oh the weeds have grown high on the farm back in Dixie
Bm
Where cotton and corn used to grow
D G D
And the memories run wild in this Arkansas farmboy
A D
Who'd give all he owns just to go
