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 
True love and homegrown tomatoes
 
                   

verse 1 

         G 
There's 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   
Pick you a ripe one, don't 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 and the diggin 
       G 
Every time I go out and pick me a big 'un 
       

Chorus 


verse 2 
  
        G 
You can go out and eat em, 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 
You can 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 
Home grown tomatoes on a hot cake griddle 



Chorus 


verse 3 

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

Chorus
