Intro.: |D MajorD |G+G |A augmentedA |D MajorD | x 2
D MajorD        G+G      A augmentedA         D MajorD
Four year's old my birthday, I opened presents, ate some cake
         G+G          A augmentedA    D MajorD
I took my Tonka straight outside to play in dirt.
        G+G        A augmentedA       D MajorD
Six years old, hard line drive, that ball just sailed on by
         G+G          A augmentedA    D MajorD
'Cause I was busy writing that name of mine in dirt.

(Chorus)
    G+G       A augmentedA       D MajorD
It was my first love, good as gold, heaven was a shovel and a two foot hole
G+G               A augmentedA        D MajorD
Mama should have bought all my clothes in brown,'cause I'd turn 'em that color anyhow
   G+G                     A augmentedA
In between the car and the front steps of that church was dirt

Inst.: |D MajorD |G+G |A augmentedA |D MajorD |

             G+G     A augmentedA            D MajorD
Turned sixteen, bought a Chevrolet, four wheel drive, what a happy day
       G+G       A augmentedA    D MajorD
So even if it rained I could play in dirt
          G+G         A augmentedA           D MajorD
Couple years later, wouldn't you know, I lost my heart at the rodeo
                G+G        A augmentedA   D MajorD
She fell off her horse and was covered head to toe in dirt

(Chorus)
    G+G       A augmentedA       D MajorD
It was my first love, good as gold, heaven was a shovel and a two foot hole
     G+G          A augmentedA             D MajorD
It's the reason I'm out here tilling this land and that rodeo queen's got a ring on her hand
    G+G            A augmentedA
I don't know where I'd be if it weren't for dirt


Inst.: |G+G |G+G |A augmentedA |A augmentedA |D MajorD |D MajorD
   G+G         A augmentedA          D MajorD
Well, I ain't afraid of growing old, 'cause when I die I know where I'll go
G+G           A augmentedA      D MajorD
There'll be no need to cry for me, I won't need your sympathy
     G+G              A augmentedA
When they cover me up with six feet of earth, it's just dirt

Outro.: ||D MajorD |G+G |A augmentedA |D MajorD |D MajorD |G+G |A augmentedA ||
     ||D MajorD |G+G |A augmentedA |D MajorD |D MajorD |G+G |A augmentedA |D MajorD -----
