[Intro]
(Play soft, single downstrums to set mood)
G D Em C
G D C
⸻
[Verse 1]
(Medium strum, focus on story)
G D
Met her down at National Grid
Em C
Coffee break smile, yeah I’ll never forget
G D
Hard hat days, steel-toe nights
Em C
Who knew I’d meet my forever right on site
⸻
[Chorus]
(Full strum — let it ring out)
G D
Now I’m head over boots, for that girl of mine
Em C
From the power lines to the pines, she’s my light that shines
G D
We made a little boy north of the line
Em C
Up in Canada, love was burnin’ fine
G D
Now every time I hear that Jon Pardi tune
Em C
I see her dancin’ barefoot under the moon
G D
In that cabin where our hearts found room
C G
Head over boots, in New Hampshire bloom
⸻
[Verse 2]
(Back to lighter strum)
G D
Campfire glow, stars up high
Em C
Baby boy sleepin’, and the world feels right
G D
North Conway nights, just me and her
Em C
Every laugh, every kiss, I still remember
⸻
[Chorus]
(Bring it up again — sing strong)
G D
Yeah, I’m head over boots, for that girl of mine
Em C
From maple leaves to mountain pines
G D
We built our love where the rivers wind
Em C
She’s my heart, my soul, my Valentine
G D
And when that Pardi song comes on in June
Em C
We slow dance like it’s our honeymoon
G D
In that cabin where our hearts found room
C G
Head over boots, in New Hampshire bloom
⸻
[Bridge]
(Slow it down — one strum per chord for emotion)
Em C
Years roll on, but it still feels new
G D
That spark from the day I first saw you
Em C
Baby boy’s grown, but we still sing that tune
G D
Dancin’ slow beneath that Conway moon
⸻
[Final Chorus]
(Full strum, build to big finish — hold final G)
G D
I’m still head over boots, for that girl of mine
Em C
From the power lines to the pines
G D
Our love was born and it still rings true
Em C
Canada nights and New Hampshire dew
G D
Yeah, that song still takes me back to you
C G (hold 2 bars)
Head over boots, forever true
