[Intro]
C G C G C G D G (x4)
[Verse 1]
C G D G
There's a whole mess of trouble up on Choctaw Hill
C G D G
Your sister couldn't make it, but I bet you will
C G D G
Knockin' back a jelly jar of watermelon wine
C G D G
I ain't never seen a place where the sun can't...
[Verse 2]
C G D G
We will wash off all your makeup with a garden hose
C G D G
And watch the freckles sparkle down the ridge of your nose
C G D G
With your lemon yellow ribbons and your bleach blonde hair
C G D G
Blendin' in the sun until you're barely there
C G D G
Blendin' in the sun until you're barely there
[Chorus]
C G C G
We'll be off the radar, off the map
C G D G
Stretched out in the tall green grass
C G C G
It's only green, against the blue
C G D G
It's only me, against you
C G C G
And a man that said "Dreams don't last"
C G D G
Never slept in the tall green grass
C G C G
A man that said "Coo-coo-cachoo"
C G D G
Did some time in the tall green grass with you
[Verse 3]
C G D G
Warm molasses midnight on a Mississippi star
C G D G
Got candy apple moon on the hood of my car
C G D G
Never could've told me you'd've gone this far
C G D G
I can't even tell you where the fuck we are
[Chorus]
C G C G
We'll be off the radar, off the map
C G D G
Stretched out in the tall green grass
C G C G
It's only green, against the blue
C G D G
It's only me, against you
C G C G
And a man that said "Dreams don't last"
C G D G
Never slept in the tall green grass
C G C G
A man that said "Coo-coo-cachoo"
C G D G
Did some time in the tall green grass with you
[Bridge]
C D G D C
Now leave your reservations in the cold red clay
G D C
We got the tall green grass
G D C
For the whole damn day
[Chorus]
C G C G
We'll be off the radar, off the map
C G D G
Stretched out in the tall green grass
C G C G
It's only green, against the blue
C G D G
It's only me, against you
C G C G
And a man that said "Dreams don't last"
C G D G
Never slept in the tall green grass
C G C G
A man that said "Oooooooh"
C G D
Did time in the tall green grass
C G D
Did some time in the tall green grass
C G D G
Did some time in the tall green grass with you
[Outro]
