Homegrown Tomatoes chords by John Denver

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
     C
There's nothin in the world that I like better
    F
Than bacon and lettuce and homegrown tomatoes
  G7
Up in the morning out in the garden
  C
Pick you a ripe one, don't get a hard 'un
  C
Plant em in the spring, eat em in the summer
   F
All winter without em's a culinary bummer
    G7
I forget all about the sweatin and the diggin
    C
Every time I go out and pick me a big 'un

Chorus:
  C
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes,
  F
What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes,
  G7
There's only two things that money can't buy:
    C
True love and homegrown tomatoes.


Verse 2:
    C
You can go out and eat em, that's for sure
   F
But there's nothin a home grown tomato won't cure
   G7
Put em in a salad, put em in a stew
    C
You can make your own, your very own tomato juice
    C
You can eat em with eggs, you can eat em with gravy
    F
You can eat em with beans, pinto or navy
   G7
Put em on the side, put em in the middle
   C
Home grown tomatoes on a hot cake griddle


Chorus:
  C
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes,
  F
What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes,
  G7
There's only two things that money can't buy:
    C
True love and homegrown tomatoes.


Verse 3:
   C
If I could change this life I lead
  F
You could call me Johnny Tomatoseed
   G7
Cuz I know what this country needs
   C
It's home grown tomatoes in every yard you see.
   C
When I die don't bury me
   F
In a box in a cold dark cemetery
   G7
Out in the garden would be much better
   C
Where I could be a pushin' up the home grown tomatoes.


Chorus:
  C
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes,
  F
What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes,
  G7
There's only two things that money can't buy:
    C
True love and homegrown tomatoes. (Repeat)
