Verse 1
G 
Gm 
Well, there ain't nothing in the world
G 
that I like better
C 
than bacon and lettuce
D 
and homegrown tomatoes.
Up in the morning, out in the garden,
G 
get you a ripe one,
D 
don't get a  hard one.
G 
Plant them in the spring,
eat them in the summer.
C 
All winter without them's
G 
a culinary bummer.
D 
I  forget all about the
sweating and digging,
G 
D 
every time I go out and pick
me a big one.
Gm 
Homegrown tomatoes,
G 
homegrown tomatoes
Cm 
G 
What'll life be without
homegrown tomatoes
D 
Only two things that money can't buy
G 
D 
And that's true love and homegrown
G 
C 
tomatoes
D

Now if I  was to change it,
Gm 
G 
now you can go  out to eat,
Cm 
that's for sure, but it's nothin' a
C 
homegrown tomato won't cure,
D 
put him in a salad, put him in a stew,
G 
you can make your very
D 
own tomato juice.
G 
You can eat them with eggs,
you can eat them with gravy,
C 
G 
C 
G

Put them on the side,
put them in the middle,
G 
put a homegrown tomato
D 
on a hotcake griddle.

Now if I  was to change this life I lead
C 
I'd feed Johnny and tomato seed
D 
Cause I  know what this country needs
G 
It's homegrown tomatoes
D 
in every yard you see
G 
So when I die, don't bury me
C 
In a box in a cemetery
G 
D 
Out in a  garden would be much better
G 
D 
And I  could be pushin' up
Homegrown tomatoes,
G 
homegrown tomatoes,
homegrown tomatoes
Cm 
What'll life be without
C
