Guy Clark - Home grown tomatoes

Home^Ggrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes, What^C'd life be without homegrown tomatoes, Ther^D7e's only two things that money can't buy: True lo^Gve and homegrown tomatoes.

There's n^Gothin in the world that I like better Than ba^Ccon and lettuce and homegrown tomatoes Up ^D7in the morning out in the garden Pic^Gk you a ripe one, don't get a hard 'un Plan^Gt em in the springtime, eat em in the summer All w^Cinter without em's a culinary bummer I forg^D7et all about the sweatin and the diggin Every t^Gime I go out and pick me a big 'un

You can ^Ggo out and eat em, that's for sure But th^Cere's nothin a home grown tomato won't cure Put e^D7m in a salad, put em in a stew You can^G make your own, your very own tomato juice You can^G eat em with eggs, you can eat em with gravy You can^C eat em with beans, pinto or navy Put e^D7m on the side, put em in the middle Home ^Ggrown tomatoes on a hot cake griddle

If I ^Gcould change this life I lead You ^Ccould call me Johnny Tomatoseed I know^D7 what this country needs It's ^Ghome grown tomatoes in every yard you see. When ^GI die don't bury me In a ^Cbox in a cold dark cemetery Out i^D7n the garden would be much better Where^G I could be a pushin' up the home grown tomatoes.
