DG
Layin' in my bed, alarm goin' off, get my feet on the floor
DG
Turn the TV on CN- N, that stock market's down again
DG
All a- bout who's who, who's got what, get your name up the ladder, get that extra buck
DG
Yeah, their A- merican dream, it's all a- bout the green
BmG
Oh, but where I come from, it's a little different son.
[Chorus]
DF#m
It's the color of the tractor in my barn, a fifty acre pasture, ole' horse farm
GDA
And rows of pines as far as I can see
DF#m
It ain't the money in the bank that we ain't got, na, it's the clover growin' in my deer plot
BmAG
And her eyes every- day lookin' back at me
DG
Yeah, that's my shades of green
DG
Hangin' in the woods with an ole' bird dog, us boys 'round here
DG
Where'd ever fall from head to toe, yeah, that's the way we roll
DG
And some put it on with the gun in their hands and wear it each day, fightin' for this land
DG
Like my daddy did. that was back in sixty six
[Chorus]
DF#m
It's the color of the tractor in my barn, a fifty acre pasture, ole' horse farm
GDA
And rows of pines as far as I can see
DF#m
It ain't the money in the bank that we ain't got, na, it's the clover growin' in my deer plot
BmAG
And her eyes every- day lookin' back at me
Yeah, that's my shades of green
