Verse 1
[G]They were farm kids way down in Dixie
They met in [C]high school in the [G]sixties

Stood on the rail and [D7]painted a ten foot [C]heart[D]

In [Em]John [D]Deere [C]Green
[G]On a hot summer [C]night
He wrote [Em]Billy Bob [D]loves [C]Charlene
[G]In letters three foot [C]high
And the [Em]whole town said
that he [D]should had used red
But it [G]looked good to [C]Charlene
[Em]in John [D]Deere [G]Green
Verse 2
[G]They settled down on eighty acres
[C]Raising sweet corn, [G]kids and tomatoes
They went together like a hand and a [D7]glove

[C]If you're lookin, [G]know what to look for
Off to the east you can [D7]still read his words of [C]love[D]

Now [D]more then once the [G]town has dicovered
Painting [C]over it ain't no [G]use
There [D]ain't no paint in the [G]world that'll cover it
The [C]heart keeps showin' [D]through[D]
