Capo on 1
Intro.: |D |G |A |D | x 2
[D]Four year's old [G]my birthday, [A]I opened presents, [D]ate some cake
I took my Tonka s[G]traight outside to p[A]lay in d[D]irt.
Six years old, [G]hard line drive, [A]that ball just [D]sailed on by
'Cause I was busy [G]writing that name of [A]mine in [D]dirt.
(Chorus)
It was [G]my first love, [A]good as gold, [D]heaven was a shovel and a two foot hole
[G]Mama should have bought all my [A]clothes in brown,[D]'cause I'd turn 'em that color anyhow
In be[G]tween the car and the front steps of that [A]church was dirt
Inst.: |D |G |A |D |
Turned sixteen, bought a [G]Chevrolet, [A]four wheel drive, what a [D]happy day
So even if it [G]rained I could [A]play in [D]dirt
Couple years later, [G]wouldn't you know, [A]I lost my heart at the [D]rodeo
She fell off her horse and was [G]covered head to [A]toe in [D]dirt
(Chorus)
It was [G]my first love, [A]good as gold, [D]heaven was a shovel and a two foot hole
It's the [G]reason I'm out here [A]tilling this land and that [D]rodeo queen's got a ring on her hand
I don't [G]know where I'd be if it [A]weren't for dirt
Inst.: |G |G |A |A |D |D
Well, [G]I ain't afraid of [A]growing old, 'cause [D]when I die I know where I'll go
[G]There'll be no need to [A]cry for me, [D]I won't need your sympathy
When they [G]cover me up with six feet of [A]earth, it's just dirt
