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
