Capo 1 C Cm C 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 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" 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 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" Am No, it ain't somethin' you fall into G It's somethin' God gives you F And you hold on to 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"
