Kimya Dawson – Sunbeams And Some Beans (Guitar)

G                                                   C
And the weatherman said to my friend, "What's your name?"

                                             C7
My friend said, "Write yours down, mine is almost the same."

G                                            C
Erase the "S" and "M" in their place put a "G" and "R"

                         C7
And an "ND" look at me what's that say

G                                                   C
Then the weatherman stood with his head hung in shame

                                             C7
He took off his big belt, put it down, turned away

G                                                   C
But my friend said, "Don't leave, I just harvested beets,

                     C7
let's go eat at my place."

G                                                   C
With his mouth full the weatherman stared at his plate

                                                C7
And he knew it was his heart that made my friend great

G                                                   C
Not his muscles, his money, his job or his name or his fame

                        C7
See my friend isn't famous

G                                          C
He is just a good person who grows what he eats

                                             C7
And if you have a mouth then he will try to feed you

G                                                C
And if you are cold he'll put wood in the stove

                                    C7
Grab a quilt and some warm flannel sheets

G                                             C
So the Grand Champion called up Sam Champion

                                                 C7
Said, "Let's plant a garden in the heart of this wasteland."

G                                                   C
And Sam said, "Hey man, this'll be breaking news,"

                                             C7
but Grand said, "I won't wait for your camera crews.

G                                         C
See, I don't do what I do for the glory.

                                C7
I do what I do because it's a good story.

G                                              C
I do what I do because there is a need and a

                            C7
hunger created by corporate greed.

G                                           C
See, there's a surplus of food in this country,

                                   C7
And nobody should ever go to sleep hungry,

G                                     C
But that food is kept under lock and key

                                         C7
Considered a privilege for people with money."

G                                                   C
Then the weatherman dropped to his hands his knees

                                      C7
With a tear in his eye and unable to speak

G                                    C
He was driven to action by only compassion

                            C7            G
He dug in the dirt and he planted some beans

C
Planted some beans

G
Planted some beans

C
Planted some beans

G
Planted some beans
