The Tomato Vendetta

D A D A

[Verse 1]
D
This song’s about the Tomato 
Vendetta,
A
and the tale of a man who let a
D
Hate for tomatoes cause him strife,
A                                 
He lost his job, wife, home, car, 
              D
kids, and life.

[Bridge 1]
D7
He’d go downtown to buy some 
groceries,
G
He went because his family was 
hungry,
D
He always bought red meat and 
potatoes
A                              
But he wouldn’t touch those ugly 
          D
tomatoes…

[Verse 2]
D
He didn’t know why he hated 
tomatoes,
A
They were just as ugly as far as 
ugly goes,
D
There in the store, when no-one was 
watchin’,

A                                 
He’d set melons on them and laugh 
                  D
at their squashin’.

[Bridge 2]
D7
One night after shopping and on his 
way home,
G
His loathing for tomatoes cut to the
 bone,
D
He just couldn’t stand the strain 
any more,
A                            
He vowed to destroy the Tomato 
       D
Horde.

[Verse 3]
D
He turned around, and viciously 
hopin’
A
The grocery stores would still be 
open,
Bm
His eyes grew cold, for he was a 
man,
A                                 
Whose Moment of Truth lay close at
     D
 hand.

[Bridge 3]
D7
All over town, in every store,
G
Tomatoes were hurt and spilled on 
the floor,
D
Big melons, and turkeys, and large 
sacks of grits,
A                              
Were dumped on their sections to 
                   D
mash them to bits.

[Verse 4]
D
At the last store he finished his 
plan,
A
But on his way out, a delivery van,
        D
Full of big ripe Tomatoes drove in 
and hit him,
A                             
Tomato Vendetta had claimed its 
        D
victim.

[Bridge 4]
D7
The incident of the Tomato Vendetta,
G
Caused a sensation that was 
something that the
D
Public could relish, and readily 
snatch-up,
A
Popularly known as the tomato 
ketchup…
