[Verse 1]
[Am]This year
in my garden I grow [F]peppers and toma[C]toes,
[F]Peppers and toma[C]toes,
they [G]grow together [Em]well,
And my [Am]neighbours all around me
they grow [F]beans and pota[C]toes
[F]Cabbages and [C]onions in this [G]vil
lage where we dwell[Em].[Am]

[Verse 2]
[Am]And later in the year we will
[F]bring wine to the [C]table
[F]Bring wine [C]to the table,
[G]and reap what we have [Em]sown.
Like my [Am]father did before and his
[F]father did before [C]him
And his [F]father did before [C]him,
we will [G]share what we have [Em]grown.[Am]

[Verse 3]
[Am]
This little patch of [F]dirt,
this little pile of stone[Em]s.
I can wash the dust from
off [F]my face, and skin
[G]But this ear[Am]th is in my bones.
Military vehicles [F]are

[Verse 4]
passing through our village
[C]Pas[F]sing through our village
[C]with young [G]soldiers ill [Em]at ease.
Unsmil[Am]ing and unshaven,
distrust[F]ful and uncer[C]tain
Dis[F]trustful and uncer[C]tain,
and all [G]smoking constantly.
[Em]And

[Verse 5]
[Am]my neighbours say "Don't
worry for [F]you are one of [C]us,
You are [F]one of [C]us [G]and it
will not happen [Em]here",
But the [Am]next night at the caf�, when I
[F]bring wine to the [C]table,
When I [F]bring wine to the table,
[C]but they are sit[G]ting drinking beer[Em].
[Am]

[Verse 6]
Last night the hand of friendship
fell [F]heavy on my [C]shoulders,
[F]Heavy on my [C]shoulders as I
[G]turned away to [Em]go.
As I [Am]said goodnight some old men,
some [F]old men and young [C]soldiers
Were [F]humming tunes and [C]singing words to song
[G]s t[Em]hat I did not know.[Am]

[Verse 7]
Oh this [Am]little patch of [F]dirt,
and this little pile of [Em]stones
I can wash the dust from off
my [F]face and skin,
[G]But this earth [Am]is in my bones.

[Verse 8]
[Am]
This morning my wife told me that she'd
been [F]to church on [C]Sunday,
[F]Been to church on [C]Sunday,
she had [G]felt the need to [Em]pray.
Our [Am]children were baptised there but it was
[F]just to please the old [C]ones,
[F]Just to please the old [C]ones,
and I don't [Em]know what to say.

[Verse 9]
Tonight, [Am]as dark is falling, I am
[F]tending to my [C]garden,
[F]Tending to my [C]garden,
and the [G]crop that I have [Em]grown.
And my [Am]car is heavy laden,
and soon [F]I'll start the [C]en gine,
[F]Soon I'll start the [C]engine,
wake the chil[G]dren and be gone.

[Verse 10]
Oh this little patch [Em]of dirt, and this
little pile of stones
I can wash the dust from off my face
and skin
But this earth is in my bones. My [Am]shotgun it is loaded,
and it's hid[F]den in the cab[C]in,
It's [F]hidden in the [C]cabin,
and the [G]evening's growing chilled.
[Em]My mouth[Am] is dry, my hands are moist,
and if [F]someone tries to [C]stop me,
[F]Someone tries to stop [C]me,
I am [G]ready now to [Em]kill.
[Am]

[Verse 11]
Oh this little patch of [F]dirt, and
this little pile of [Em]stones
I can wash the dust from off
[F]my face and skin
[G]But this ear[Am]th is in my bones.

[Interlude 2]
[Am]

[Verse 12]
I am watering my garden, when [F]I
smell the cigarette [C]smoke,
[F]Smell the cigarette [C]smoke,
and I [G]turn round in the dust
[Em]And I see [Am]the glint of rifles,
but I [F]cannot see the [C]faces
But I [F]recognise the [C]voices that say,
"Y[G]ou must come with [Em]us".
