John Anderson – Down In Orange Grove (Guitar)

              A
I learned to drive my daddy's old pickup truck, down in the orange grove 

    A
I'd nearly get a whippin' when I'd get the truck stuck, down in the orange grove

       D
I wore out my first pair of Brogan shoes, down in the orange grove

     A  
And that's where I learned how to sing the blues, down in the orange grove 

  E                                          D
I learned to pray to the lord up above, the very first time I ever tasted love was

A   
  Down in the orange grove, down in the orange grove

               A
You learn the value of a dollar when the sun gets hot, down in the orange grove

    A
The boss wants more and you give it all you've got down in the orange grove

              D
We'd have to light the smudge pots when it'd come a freeze, down in the orange grove

    A
And work all night just to save the trees, down in the orange grove

   E                                                  D
I never will forget all the lessons I learned, or the work I did for the money I earned

A   
  Down in the orange grove, down in the orange grove

          A
Well the big freeze came; now the trees are gone, down in the orange grove

     A
They cleared the land and they've built new homes, down in the orange grove

         D
Then the canker hit back in '84, down in the orange grove

             A
Now there's shopping malls and grocery stores, down in the orange grove

           E                                               D
It made a lot of people happy when the progress came, but deep down I know it won't be the same

A   
  Down in the orange grove, down in the orange grove

A   
  Down in the orange grove, down in the orange grove
