• Difficulty: Intermediate

🎸 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
                 C#m
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
                C#m
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
C#m        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
