Homegrown Tomatoes Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][C]

[Verse 1]
Ain't [C]nothin' in the world that I like better
Than [F]ba con and lettuce
and homegrown tomatoes
[G]Up in the mornin', out in the garden
[C]Get you a ripe one, [G]don't get a hard 'un
[C]Plant 'em in the spring,
you eat 'em in the summer
All [F]winter without 'em's a culinary bummer
[G]I forgot all about the sweatin' and the diggin'
Every [C]time I go out and [G]pick me a big'un

[Chorus 1]
[C]Homegrown tomatoes,
homegrown tomatoes
[F]What'd life be without
homegrown tomatoes?
[G]On ly two things that money can't buy
And [C]that's true love

[Interlude 1]
and homegrown tomatoes
[C][F][G][C]

[Verse 2]
Well, you can [C]go out a'eat, that's for sure
But there's [F]nothin'
that a homegrown tomato won't cure
[G]Put 'em in a salad, put 'em in a stew
You can [C]make your own,
very own to[G]mato juice
You can [C]eat 'em with eggs,
can eat 'em with gravy
You can [F]eat 'em with beans, pinto or navy
[G]Put 'em on the side, put 'em in the middle
[C]Homegrown tomato on a [G]hot cake griddle

[Chorus 2]
[C]Homegrown tomatoes,
homegrown tomatoes
[F]What'd life be without
homegrown tomatoes?
[G]Only two things that money can't buy
And [C]that's true love

[Interlude 2]
and homegrown tomatoes
[C][F][G][C]

[Verse 3]
If [C]I's to change this life I lead
You could [F]call me Johnny Tomatoseed
'Cause [G]I know what this country needs
[C]Homegrown tomatoes in every [G]yard you see
[C]When I die, don't bury me
In a [F]box in a cold, dark cemetery
[G]Out in the garden would be much better
'Cause [C]I could be pushin' up
[G]homegrown tomatoes

[Chorus 3]
[C]Homegrown tomatoes,
homegrown tomatoes
[F]What'd life be without
homegrown tomatoes?
There's [G]only two things that money can't buy
And [C]that's true love
and homegrown tomatoes
Homegrown tomatoes
[F]What'd life be without
homegrown tomatoes?
There's [G]only two things that money can't buy
And [C]that's true love
and [G]homegrown tomatoes
