Selection chords: Ethan Cooper

Intro: C

Verse:
 C                          Em
They came in thinkinʼ top dollar
                            F
To that old cotton crop farmer
 F
They knocked on his screen door and he said
 F
"Lord, what you need, boys?" And they said
  C
"You know all the others went and cashed out
 Em
We got the subdivision all mapped out
 F
Itʼll sit right here on this land
  F
And you can leave town a rich man"
               G                                            F
And he said, "Boys, whatever youʼre offerinʼ, it wonʼt be enough

Chorus:
                C
ʼCause I got a little girl that used to swing right there
 Em
I still see her pink bow in her brown hair
 F
Sheʼs in the big city, but she still calls home
  F
Whatʼs she gonna Do if she comes back and weʼre gone?
  C
And ovеr there, under that widе oak tree
  Em
Beneath the cross is where my best buddyʼs buried
  F
Lasted thirteen huntinʼ seasons runninʼ strong
 F
Keep your money ʼcause a man canʼt leave his dog
 Am                          G              F
And over there is where I got down on one knee
 F                   G           C
You canʼt 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 the droughts and the floods through all the years
       F
What in the world got you through?
   F
How the hellʼd 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
Runninʼ up after one of them long days
 F
A big smile makinʼ every little worry fade
C
And over there, under that wide oak tree
Em
Beneath the cross, where my best buddyʼs buried
 F
All them huntinʼ seasons freezinʼ in a jon boat
F
Me and him, double barrel and a two stroke
 Am                               G                 F
And that woman that said ʼyesʼ when I got down on one knee
                 F        G             C
Yeah, you canʼt buy that kind of dirt cheap

Bridge:
               Am
No, it ainʼt somethinʼ you fall into
       G                   F
Itʼs somethinʼ God gives you
 F
And you hold on to

Chorus:
                C
Just like that little girl who used to swing right there
 Em
I still see her pink bow in her brown hair
              F
Sheʼs in the big city now, but she still calls home
  F
Sheʼs cominʼ back next week and, man, itʼs been too long

  C
And over there, under that wide oak tree
 Em
Beside the cross, where my best buddyʼs buried
  F
Lays a puppy posted up in the shade
 F
That woman never could turn away a stray

 Am                                 G                  F
I guess thatʼs why she said ʼyesʼ when I got down on one knee
       Am                               G                F
Oh, long as all this is here, why the hell would I ever leave?
          F         G            C
You canʼt buy that kind of dirt cheap"
