Deeper than the holler

1. Well, I've heard those city singers singin’
about how they can love
D G D
G
deeper
than the oceans higher than the stars above.
D G D G
Well, I come from the country
and I know I ain't seen it all,
D G D G D
but I
heard that ocean’s salty and the stars they sometimes fall.
Em Bm
And that would not do justice
to the way I feel for you,
G Bm Em A
so I
have to sing this song about all the things I knew.
D G D
G
My love is deeper than the holler, stronger than the rivers,
Bm G
Em
A
higher than the pine trees growin' tall upon the hill.
D
G D A
Bm
My love is purer than the snowflakes that fall in late December,
Em
D G
and honest as a robin on a
springtime window sill,
Em A D
and longer than the song of the
Whippoorwill.

2. From the backroads
to the Broadway shows
D G
with
a million miles between
D G D
G D
there's
a least a million love songs that people love to sing.
Em Bm
And everyone is different and
everyone's the same,
G D
Em A
and
this is just another way of sayin’ the same thing.
