Guitar Tabs and Lyrics For 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

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
