  Here are the words and chords to Homegrown Tomatoes:

  

  Chorus:

  

  Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes,

  What'd life be without home grown Tomatoes,

  There's only two things that money can't buy:

  Two love and home grown tomatoes.

  

  

  1.  There's nothin' in the world that I like better than

  Bacon, lettuce and home grown tomatoes

  Up in the morning and out in the garden

  Pick you a ripe one, don't get a hard 'un.

  Plant 'em in the springtime eat 'em in the summer,

  All winter without 'em's a culinary bummer.

  I forget all about the sweatin and the diggin

  Every time I go out and pick me a big'un.

  

  CHORUS

  

  2.

  You can go out and eat'em that's for sure,

  But there's nothin a home grown tomato won't cure

  You can put em in a salad, put em in  a stew

  You can make your own, your very own tomato juice

  You can eat em with eggs, you can eat em with gravy

  You can eat em with beans, pinto or navy

  Put em on the side, put em on the middle 

  Home grown tomatoes on a hot cake griddle

  

  CHORUS

  

  3.

  If I could change this life I lead,

  You could call me Johnny Tomato Seed

  I know what this country needs,

  It's home grown tomatoes in every yard you see

  When I die don't bury me

  In a box in a cold dark cemetery

  Out in the garden would be much better 

  Where I could be pushin up those home grown tomatoes.

  

  CHORUS

  

  <WILD APPLAUSE>

  

  This isNOT a complex song.  In any key, the chords are: I - IV - V7 - I

  (e.g., in the key of G, chords are G - C - D7 - G).

  

  

  CHORUS:

  

  Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes,

     I              -

  What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes,

      IV                    -   

  There's only two things that money can't buy:

         V7

  True love and homegrown tomatoes.

       I              

  

  1.

  

  There's nothin in the world that I like better

              I

  Than bacon and lettuce and homegrown tomatoes

         IV

  Up in the morning out in the garden

    V7

  Pick you a ripe one, don't bet a hard 'un

     I

  Plant em in the springtime, eat em in the summer

      I

  All winter without em's a culinary bummer

       IV

  I  forget all about the sweatin and the diggin

         V7

  Every time I go out and pick me a big 'un

          I

  You can eat em with eggs, you can eat em with gravy

  

  You can eat em with beans, pinto or navy

  

  Put em on the side, put em in the middle

  

  Home grown tomatoes on a hot cake griddle

  CHORUS

  

  Good luck and have fun.
