Home Grown Tomatoes

                 G
Well there ain't nothin' in the 
world that I like better
       C
Than bacon and lettuce and homegrown
 tomatoes
D7
Up in the morning out in the garden
G
Get you a ripe one, do not get a 
hard 'un
G
Plant 'em in the springtime, eat 'em
 in the summer
     C
All winter without 'em's a culinary 
bummer
D7
I forget all about the sweatin' an' 
diggin'
G                       D7
Every time I go out and pick me a 
big 'un

[Chorus]
G
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown 
tomatoes,
C
What'd life be without homegrown 
tomatoes?
D7
Only two things that money can't 
buy:
G                    D7
That's true love and homegrown 
tomatoes.

[Verse 2]
        G
You can go out to eat, that's for 
sure
            C
But there's nothin' a home grown 
tomato won't cure
D7
Put 'em in a salad, put 'em in a 
stew

G
Make your own, your very own tomato 
juice
        G
You can eat 'em with eggs, you can 
eat 'em with gravy
        C
You can eat 'em with beans, pinto or
 navy
D7
Put 'em on the side, put 'em in the 
middle
      G                      D7
Put a home grown tomato on a hot 
cake griddle

[Chorus]
G
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown 
tomatoes,
C
What'd life be without homegrown 
tomatoes?
D7
Only two things that money can't 
buy:
     G                    D7
And that's true love and homegrown 
tomatoes.

[Verse 3]
        G
Now, if I had to trade this life I 
lead
C
I'd be Johnny Tomatoseed
       D7
'Cause I know what this country 
needs
     G                            
It's home grown tomatoes in every 
D
yard you see.
     G
But when I die don't bury me
C
In a box in a box in a cemetery
D7
Out in the garden would be much 
better
     G                       D7
And I'da be a pushin' up the home 
grown tomatoes.

[Chorus]
G
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown 
tomatoes,
C
What'd life be without homegrown 
tomatoes?
        D7
There's only two things that money 
can't buy:
       G                  D7
And that's true love and homegrown 
tomatoes.
G
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown 
tomatoes,
C
What'd life be without homegrown 
tomatoes?
        D7
There's only two things that money 
can't buy:
    G                    D7
And that's true love and homegrown 
tomatoes, yeah
