Intro: E

Verse 1:
E
Few days before he turned 80
B
He was sitting out back in a rocker
A
He said, what you been up to lately

I told him chasing a dollar
E
And in between sips of coffee
B
He poured this wisdom out
A
Said if you want my two cents on making a dollar count

Chorus:
    E
Buy dirt
                               B
Find the one you can't live without
                                  Dbm
Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground
                             A
Do what you love but call it work
                                           E
And throw a little money in the plate at church
                                         B
Send some prayers up and your roots down deep
                               Dbm
Add a few limbs to your family tree

And watch their pencils marks
        A
And the grass in the yard

All grow up
E                         B
'Cause the truth about it is

It all goes by real quick
Dbm                A
You can't buy happiness
                E
But you can buy dirt

Verse 2:
E
Before you get caught on that ladder
B                                 E
Let me tell you what it's all about
A
Find you a few things that matter

That you can put a fence around

And then he laid it out

Chorus:
    E
Buy dirt
                               B
Find the one you can't live without
                                  Dbm
Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground
                             A
Do what you love but call it work
                                           E
And throw a little money in the plate at church
                                         B
Send some prayers up and your roots down deep
                               Dbm
Add a few limbs to your family tree

And watch their pencils marks
        A
And the grass in the yard

All grow up
E                         B
'Cause the truth about it is

It all goes by real quick
Dbm                A
You can't buy happiness
                Dbm      B
But you can buy dirt
            A      E
You can buy dirt

Bridge:
B
And thank the good Lord for it

'Cause He ain't makin' any more of it

Chorus:
    E
Buy dirt
                               B
Find the one you can't live without
                                  Dbm
Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground
                             A
Do what you love but call it work
                                           E
And throw a little money in the plate at church
                                         B
Send some prayers up and your roots down deep
                               Dbm
Add a few limbs to your family tree

And watch their pencils marks
        A
And the grass in the yard

All grow up
E                         B
'Cause the truth about it is

It all goes by real quick
Dbm                A
You can't buy happiness
                E
But you can buy dirt
