🎸 Intro:

C  Cm  C

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

 C
"You know all the others went and cashed out
Em
They got the subdivision all mapped out
F

 It'll sit right here on this land
             C
And you can leave town a rich man"
        G                       F
And he said, "Boys, whatever you're offerin', it won't be enough


🎸 Chorus:
       C
'Cause I got a little girl that used to swing right there
Em
I still see her pink bow in her brown hair
 F
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
And over there, under that wide oak tree
 Em
Beneath the cross is where my best buddy's buried
F
It lasted thirteen huntin' season runnin' strong

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

Am             G        F
And over there is where I got down on one knee

      F    G      C
You can't buy that kind of dirt cheap"


🎸 Verse:
 C
One man smiled and he kinda looked away
      Em
The other said, "Before we go, I gotta know one thing
       F
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
"That little girl that used to swing right there
Em
I still see her pink bow in her brown hair
 F
Runnin' up after one of them long days

A big smile makin' every litttle worry fade

 C
And over there, under that wide oak tree
 Em
Beneath the cross where my best buddy's buried
F
All them huntin' seasons freezin' in a Jon boat

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

Am               G         F
And that woman that said 'yes' when I got down on one knee
        F    G      C
Yeah you can't buy that kind of dirt cheap"


🎸 Break:
       Am
No, it ain't somethin' you fall into
   G
It's somethin' God gives you
F
 And you hold on to


🎸 Chorus:
        C
Just like that little girl that used to swing right there
C Em
 Still see her pink bow in her brown hair
Em      F
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
And over there, under that wide oak tree
 Em
Beside the cross where my best buddy's buried
 F
Lays a puppy posted up in the shade

That woman never could turn away a stray

Am                 G         F
I guess that's why she said 'yes' when I got down on one knee
   Am                G         F
Oh, long as all this is here, why the hell would I ever leave?
             G         C
Yeah you can't buy that kind of dirt cheap"
