Verse 1:
     C majorC
There's nothin in the world that I like better
    FF
Than bacon and lettuce and homegrown tomatoes
  G7G7
Up in the morning out in the garden
  C majorC
Pick you a ripe one, don't get a hard 'un
  C majorC
Plant em in the spring, eat em in the summer
   FF
All winter without em's a culinary bummer
    G7G7
I forget all about the sweatin and the diggin
    C majorC
Every time I go out and pick me a big 'un

Chorus:
  C majorC
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes,
  FF
What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes,
  G7G7
There's only two things that money can't buy:
    C majorC
True love and homegrown tomatoes.


Verse 2:
    C majorC
You can go out and eat em, that's for sure
   FF
But there's nothin a home grown tomato won't cure
   G7G7
Put em in a salad, put em in a stew
    C majorC
You can make your own, your very own tomato juice
    C majorC
You can eat em with eggs, you can eat em with gravy
    FF
You can eat em with beans, pinto or navy
   G7G7
Put em on the side, put em in the middle
   C majorC
Home grown tomatoes on a hot cake griddle

Chorus:
  C majorC
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes,
  FF
What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes,
  G7G7
There's only two things that money can't buy:
    C majorC
True love and homegrown tomatoes.


Verse 3:
   C majorC
If I could change this life I lead
  FF
You could call me Johnny Tomatoseed
   G7G7
Cuz I know what this country needs
   C majorC
It's home grown tomatoes in every yard you see.
   C majorC
When I die don't bury me
   FF
In a box in a cold dark cemetery
   G7G7
Out in the garden would be much better
   C majorC
Where I could be a pushin' up the home grown tomatoes.


Chorus:
  C majorC
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes,
  FF
What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes,
  G7G7
There's only two things that money can't buy:
    C majorC
True love and homegrown tomatoes. (Repeat)
