[Intro]
C C F C C
G C C C C

[Verse]
C F C
The seventh son born to an Arkansas farmer
Am F C
And a hard-workin’ mother of twelve
F C
Who never could find any time or a dollar
F G C C C C
That she could just spend on herself
C F C
He remembers things now, that his daddy once told him
Am F C
The old man grew wiser with time
F C
And a life on the farm, that in a boy's view was awful
F G C G
Has changed in these same older eyes

[Chorus]
C G C
Oh, the weeds have grown high on the farm back in Dixie
Am7
Where cotton and corn used to grow
C F C
And the memories run wild in this Arkansas farmboy
G C C
Who'd give all he owns just to go

[Solo]
C C F C C
G C C C C

[Verse]
C F C
He recalls how grandaddy held him and taught him
Am F C
The melody to "In The Pines"
F C
On a five-dollar guitar that led to a fortune
F G C G
He'd trade just to go back in time

[Chorus]
C G C
Oh, the weeds have grown high on the farm back in Dixie
Am7
Where cotton and corn used to grow
C F C
And the memories run wild in this Arkansas farmboy
G C G
Who'd give all he owns just to go
