🎸 Verse:
C majorC
They came in thinkin' top dollar
E minorEm
To that old cotton crop farmer
FF
They knocked on his screen door and he said
C majorC
"Lord, what you need, boys " And they said
C majorC
"You know all the others went and cashed out
E minorEm
They got the subdivision all mapped out
FF
It'll sit right here on this land
C majorC
And you can leave town a rich man"
G+G FF
And he said, "Boys, whatever you're offerin', it won't be enough
🎸 Chorus:
C majorC
'Cause I got a little girl that used to swing right there
E minorEm
I still see her pink bow in her brown hair
FF
She's in the big city, but she still calls home
What's she gonna do if she comes back and we're gone?
C majorC
And over there, under that wide oak tree
E minorEm
Beneath the cross is where my best buddy's buried
FF
It lasted thirteen huntin' season runnin' strong
Keep your money 'cause a man can't leave his dog
A minorAm G+G FF
And over there is where I got down on one knee
FF G+G C majorC
You can't buy that kind of dirt cheap"
🎸 Verse:
C majorC
One man smiled and he kinda looked away
E minorEm
The other said, "Before we go, I gotta know one thing
FF
Between thr 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:
C majorC
"That little girl that used to swing right there
E minorEm
I still see her pink bow in her brown hair
FF
Runnin' up after one of them long days
A augmentedA big smile makin' every litttle worry fade
C majorC
And over there, under that wide oak tree
E minorEm
Beneath the cross where my best buddy's buried
FF
All them huntin' seasons freezin' in a Jon boat
Me and him, double-barrel and a two-stroke
A minorAm G+G FF
And that woman that said 'yes' when I got down on one knee
FF G+G C majorC
Yeah you can't buy that kind of dirt cheap"
🎸 Break:
A minorAm
No, it ain't somethin' you fall into
G+G
It's somethin' God gives you
FF
And you hold on to
🎸 Chorus:
C majorC
Just like that little girl that used to swing right there
C majorC E minorEm
Still see her pink bow in her brown hair
E minorEm FF
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
C majorC
And over there, under that wide oak tree
E minorEm
Beside the cross where my best buddy's buried
FF
Lays a puppy posted up in the shade
That woman never could turn away a stray
A minorAm G+G FF
I guess that's why she said 'yes' when I got down on one knee
A minorAm G+G FF
Oh, long as all this is here, why the hell would I ever leave?
G+G C majorC
Yeah you can't buy that kind of dirt cheap"
