  They were farm kids  way down in Dixie

  They met in high school  in the sixties
G             G                     D     D
Everyone knew  it was love from the start
G             G
  One July in  the midnight hour
C                      G
  He climbed up on the   water tower
G                        D                 C    D
  Stood on the rail and painted a 10 foot heart

Chorus:
   Em   D     C
In John Deere green
G       D           C
  On a hot summer night

He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene
G            D       C
  In letters 3 foot high
        Em                      D
And the whole town said that he should have used red

But it looked good to Charlene
   Em   D     G
In John Deere green

Verse 2:
G                     G
  They settled down on  80 acres
C                    G
  Raisin' sweet corn, kids and tomatoes
G                   G                    D
  They went together  like a hand and a glove
G                G
  On a clear day   from their front yard
C                 G
  If you look and   know what to look for
G                          D                       C    D
  Off to the east you can still read his words of love

     D                 G
Now more than once the town has discovered
         C                G
Painting over it ain't no use
       D                     G
There ain't no paint in the world that'll cover it

The heart keeps showin' through
