Intro: Db Dbm Db

Verse:
Db
 They came in thinkin' top dollar
Fm
  To that old cotton crop farmer
Gb
 They knocked on his screen door and he said
                 Db
"Lord, what you need, boys?" And they said

  Db
"You know all the others went and cashed out
Fm
They got the subdivision all mapped out
Gb
 It'll sit right here on this land
                          Db
And you can leave town a rich man"
               Ab                                            Gb
And he said, "Boys, whatever you're offerin', it won't be enough

Chorus:
             Db
'Cause I got a little girl that used to swing right there
Fm
I still see her pink bow in her brown hair
 Gb
She's in the big city, but she still calls home

What's she gonna do if she comes back and we're gone?

 Db
And over there, under that white oak tree
 Fm
Beneath the cross is where my best buddy's buried
Gb
It lasted thirteen huntin' season runnin' strong

Keep your money 'cause a man can't leave his dog

Bbm                        Ab              Gb
And over there is where I got down on one knee

           Gb       Ab           Db
You can't buy that kind of dirt cheap"

Verse:
 Db
One man smiled and he kinda looked away
           Fm
The other said, "Before we go, I gotta know one thing
             Gb
Between the droughts and the floods through all the years

What in the world got you through?

How the hell'd you get here?" And he said

Chorus:
  Db
"That little girl that used to swing right there
Fm
I still see her pink bow in her brown hair
 Gb
Runnin' up after one of them long days

A big smile makin' every little worry fade

 Db
And over there, under that white oak tree
 Fm
Beneath the cross where my best buddy's buried
Gb
All them huntin' seasons freezin' in a Jon boat

Me and him, double-barrel and a two-stroke

Bbm                             Ab                 Gb
And that woman that said 'yes' when I got down on one knee
                Gb       Ab           Db
Yeah you can't buy that kind of dirt cheap"

Bridge:
              Bbm
No, it ain't somethin' you fall into
      Ab
It's somethin' God gives you
Gb
 And you hold on to

Chorus:
                Db
Just like that little girl that used to swing right there
Db Fm
  Still see her pink bow in her brown hair
Fm            Gb
She's in the big city now, but she still calls home

She's comin' back next week and, man, it's been too long

 Db
And over there, under that white oak tree
 Fm
Beside the cross where my best buddy's buried
 Gb
Lays a puppy posted up in the shade

That woman never could turn away a stray

Bbm                                Ab                 Gb
I guess that's why she said 'yes' when I got down on one knee
        Bbm                               Ab                Gb
Lord,  long as all this is here, why the hell would I ever leave?
                         Ab                Db
Yeah you can't buy that kind of dirt cheap"
