Johnny Come Lately Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I'm sorry you couldn't mak[G]e it
You could have [D]seen him,
so weathered an[G]d dated
He was a [E]Johnny come lately
And [A]I know that you would hate him
If you'd [D]seen his botanic[G]al leanings
First [Asus4]prize exh[D]ibit and
all down to good [G]spirit
He was [Bm]a Johnny [E]come lately
And [A]I know that you would hate me
If [D]I envied the things that he s[G]poke of
How [D]I envied the things
that [G]he thought of
[D]He was[G] a J[D]ohn[E]ny come lately
And I [A]know that you would hate me
If [G]I told you that I made some time
and stayed behind
To find out how to [D]make a [Bm]garden grow
Where [D]the sun [Gm]no longe[C]r shin[D]es
If I [G]asked too many [Asus4]questions
and I [Gm]stayed behind
To [C]find out how to [D]make a garden grow
But he [E]never ever gave away the secret of this
godfor[A]saken [D]soil[G][Asus4][D][G]
He [D]didn't need us,
just tempted an[G]d teased us
You could [D]have been here,
wishing [G]you were here
This was [D]a J[E]ohnny come lately
And [A]I know that you would hate me
He was a [E]Johnny come lately
And [A]I know that you would hate me
If [G]I told you that I made some
time and stayed behind
To find out how to [D]make
[Bm]a garden grow
Where [G]the sun [Asus4]no
[Bb]longer [Gm]shine[D]s[A]
He as[G]sured me that the seeds
you [Asus4]sold were soun[Bm]d
[G]But I must have cast them
[D]all on [Bm]stony ground
And [Gm]now [Am]the s[Gm]un[C][Gm]
[C]won[Gm]'t sh[C]ine[D]
I must have [G]asked too many [Gm]questions d
And stayed behind to [C]find
out how to make a [D]garden grow
But he nev[E]er ever gave away the
secret of this [A]godforsaken soil.
