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"
