[Verse 1]
---------------------
G
 They were farm kids way down in Dixie
C                       G
 They met in high school in the sixties
                                   D
Everyone knew it was love from the start
G
 One July in the midnight hour
C                   G
 He climbed upon the water tower
                      D                 C
Stood on the rail and painted a 10 foot heart

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
D   Em   D     C
 In John Deere Green
G     D          C
 On a hot summer night
         Em        D         C
He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene
G           D      C
 In letters 3 foot high
D       Em
And the whole town said
        D
That he should have used red
       G           G        C
But it looked good to Charlene
D  Em   D     G
In John Deere Green

[Verse 2]
---------------------
G
 They settled down on eighty acres
C                   G
 Raising sweet corn, kids, and tomatoes
                                           D
They went together like a hand and a glove, yes. they did
G
 On a clear day from their front yard
C               G
 If you look and know what to look for
                        D                           C
Off to the east you can still read his words of love

[Chorus (2)]

G     D          C
 On a hot summer night

He wrote Billy Bob loves Charlene
G           D      C
 In letters 3 foot high
D       Em
And the whole town said
        D
The boy should have used red
       G           G        C
But it looked good to Charlene

       Now more than once the town has discovered
         C                 G
Painting over, it ain't no use
           D                G
There ain't no paint in the world that'll cover it
    C                          D
The heart keeps showing through
