C# They came in thinkin' top dollar Fm To that old cotton crop farmer F# They knocked on his screen door and he said "Lord, what you need, boys?" And they said C# "You know all the others went and cashed out Fm They got the subdivision all mapped out F# It'll sit right here on this land And you can leave town a rich man" G# And he said, "Boys, F# whatever you're offerin', it won't be enough Chorus: C# 'Cause I got a little girl that used to swing right there Fm 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 Fm 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 A#m 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" One man smiled and he kinda looked away The other said, "Before we go, I gotta know one thing Between the 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: "That little girl that used to swing right there I still see her pink bow in her brown hair Runnin' up after one of them long days A big smile makin' every little worry fade And over there, under that wide oak tree Beneath the cross, where my best buddy's buried All them huntin' seasons freezin' in a jon boat Me and him, double-barrel and a two-stroke And that woman that said 'yes' when I got down on one knee Yeah, you can't buy that kind of dirt cheap A#m No, it ain't somethin' you fall into G# It's somethin' God gives you F# And you hold on to Chorus: Just like that little girl who used to swing right there I still see her pink bow in her brown hair 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 And over there, under that wide oak tree Beside the cross, where my best buddy's buried Lays a puppy posted up in the shade That woman never could turn away a stray I guess that's why she said 'yes' when I got down on one knee Oh, long as all this is here, why the hell would I ever leave? You can't buy that kind of dirt cheap" You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#m  C#  F#  Fm  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
