Guy Clark – Home Grown Tomatoes (Guitar)

                 G
Well there ain't nothin' in the world that I like better

       C
Than bacon and lettuce and homegrown tomatoes

D7
Up in the morning out in the garden

G
Get you a ripe one, do not get a hard 'un

G
Plant 'em in the springtime, eat 'em in the summer

     C
All winter without 'em's a culinary bummer

D7
I forget all about the sweatin' an' diggin'

G                       D7
Every time I go out and pick me a big 'un

G
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes,

C
What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes?

D7
Only two things that money can't buy:

G                    D7
That's true love and homegrown tomatoes.

        G
You can go out to eat, that's for sure

            C
But there's nothin' a home grown tomato won't cure

D7
Put 'em in a salad, put 'em in a stew

G
Make your own, your very own tomato juice

        G
You can eat 'em with eggs, you can eat 'em with gravy

        C
You can eat 'em with beans, pinto or navy

D7
Put 'em on the side, put 'em in the middle

      G                      D7
Put a home grown tomato on a hot cake griddle

G
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes,

C
What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes?

D7
Only two things that money can't buy:

     G                    D7
And that's true love and homegrown tomatoes.

        G
Now, if I had to trade this life I lead

C
I'd be Johnny Tomatoseed

       D7
'Cause I know what this country needs

     G                            D
It's home grown tomatoes in every yard you see.

     G
But when I die don't bury me

C
In a box in a box in a cemetery

D7
Out in the garden would be much better

     G                       D7
And I'da be a pushin' up the home grown tomatoes.

G
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes,

C
What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes?

        D7
There's only two things that money can't buy:

       G                  D7
And that's true love and homegrown tomatoes.

G
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes,

C
What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes?

        D7
There's only two things that money can't buy:

    G                    D7
And that's true love and homegrown tomatoes, yeah
