Chords

[Verse 1]
 D                            G       D
The seventh son born to an Arkansas farmer

       Bm           G        D       A7
And a hard workin' mother of twelve

     D                   G         D
Who never could find any time or a dollar

      G              A       D
That she could just spend on herself
[Verse 2]
 D                             G          D
I remember things now, that my daddy once told me

    Bm            G         D    A7
The old man grew wiser with time

      D                           G              D
And a life on the farm, that in a boy's view was awful

     G                A    D         A7
Has changed in these same older eyes
[Chorus]
       D                             A           D
Oh the weeds have grown high on the farm back in Dixie

                              Bm
Where cotton and corn used to grow

        D                          G         D
And the memories run wild in this Arkansas farmboy

                  A             D  A7
Who'd give all he owns just to go
[Instrumental] D G D A7 x2 D [Verse 3]
  D                     G           D
I recall how grandaddy held me and taught me

    Bm     A           D      A7
The melody to "In The Pines"

     D                       G        D
On a five-dollar guitar that led to a fortune

    G             A          D    A7
I'd trade just to go back in time
[Chorus]
       D                            A             D
Oh the weeds have grown high on the farm back in Dixie

                              Bm
Where cotton and corn used to grow

        D                          G         D
And the memories run wild in this Arkansas farmboy

                  A            D
Who'd give all he owns just to go
[Outro]
       D                            A             D
Oh the weeds have grown high on the farm back in Dixie

                              Bm
Where cotton and corn used to grow

        D                          G         D
And the memories run wild in this Arkansas farmboy

                  A            D
Who'd give all he owns just to go
