Homegrown Tomatoes
Guy Clark

This is not a complex song.
In any key, the chords are: I - IV - V7 -I
(e.g., in the key of G, chords are G - C - D7 - G)
 
 CHORUS:
 
 Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes,
    I              -
 What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes,
     IV                    -
 There's only two things that money can't buy:
        V7
 True love and homegrown tomatoes.
      I
 
 1.
 
 There's nothin in the world that I like better
             I
 Than bacon and lettuce and homegrown tomatoes
        IV
 Up in the morning out in the garden
   V7
 Pick you a ripe one, don't bet a hard 'un
    I
 Plant em in the springtime, eat em in the summer
     I
 All winter without em's a culinary bummer
      IV
 I  forget all about the sweatin and the diggin
        V7
 Every time I go out and pick me a big 'un
         I
 
 CHORUS
 
 2.  You can go out and eat em, that's for sure
 
 But there's nothin a home grown tomato won't cure
 
 Put em in a salad, put em in a stew
 
 You can make your own, your very own tomato juice
 
 You can eat em with eggs, you can eat em with gravy
 
 You can eat em with beans, pinto or navy
 
 Put em on the side, put em in the middle
 
 Home grown tomatoes on a hot cake griddle
 
 CHORUS
 
 3.  If I could change this life I lead
 
 You could call me Johnny Tomatoseed
 
 I know what this country needs
 
 It's home grown tomatoes in every yard you see.
 
 When I die don't bury me
 
 In a box in a cold dark cemetery
 
 Out in the garden would be much better
 
 Where I could be a pushin' up the home grown tomatoes.
 
 CHORUS
