      [Intro]
D    G    x4

[Verse 1]
          D                G                D                 G
Well I've heard those city singers singin' 'bout 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                               F#m
And that would not do justice to the way I feel for you.
     G             F#m          Em               A
So I had to sing a song about all the things I knew.

[Chorus]
           D               G       D                 G
My love is deeper than the holler, stronger than the river.
Bm              Em              G                A
Higher than the pine trees growin' tall upon the hill.
           D              G                D       D/C#    Bm
My love is purer than the snowflakes, that fall in late December.
    Em          F#m          G
And honest as a robin on a springtime window sill.
    Em              A
And longer than the song of a whippoorwill.

[Interlude]
D   Bm   Em   A

[Verse 2]
           D                 G                      D               G
From the back-roads to the Broadway shows with a million miles between
          D               G               D     G       D
There's a least a million love songs that people love to sing
       Em                     F#m
And everyone is different and everyone's the same
      G          F#m             Em               A
An' this is just another way of sayin' the same thing

[Chorus]
              D                G       D                G
My love is deeper than the holler, stronger than the river
  Bm              Em               G             A
Higher than the pine trees growin' tall upon the hill
           D              G               D      D/C#     Bm
My love is purer than the snowflakes that fall in late December
      Em        F#m         G
And honest as a robin on a springtime window sill
      Em              A
And longer than the song of a whippoorwill

D   Bm   Em   A   x2

[Chorus]
              D                G       D                G
My love is deeper than the holler, stronger than the river
  Bm              Em               G             A
Higher than the pine trees growin' tall upon the hill
           D              G               D      D/C#     Bm
My love is purer than the snowflakes that fall in late December
      Em        F#m         G
And honest as a robin on a springtime window sill
      Em              A
And longer than the song of a whippoorwill
D  Bm  Em  A
            D
A whippoorwill
Bm  Em  A D
