Verse 1
(G major) Church bells chime
pas (D major) t the glistening chalk stream
(D minor) Past the local boys
playing crick (C major) et on the green
(G major) See (A minor) Samuel as he goes,
with the (G major) vegetables he grows (E minor)
To the (C major) local vil (D major) lage show (E minor)
To the show (D major)
To the (C major) local village (D major) show (E minor)
Autumn (A major) comes again,
once (C major) again it is the time
Villagers (G major) bring vegetables
and fill (D major) their tented shrines,
proudly (A minor) their specimens,
all (G major) neatly set (D major) in (E minor) rows,
at (C major) the local vil (D major) lage show. (E minor)
At the show, (D major)
at (C major) the local village (D major) show. (E minor)
Winter (G major) comes around,
the al (D major) lotments gray and cold,
Samuel (D minor) grips his chest
and falls (C major) back into the soil
(G major) The (A minor) leaf litter falls down
as the (G major) clay beneath absorb (E minor) s him
And the (C major) marrows start (D major) to grow (E minor)
Yes they (D major) grow
The (C major) marrows start (D major) to grow (E minor)
Spring (A major) time comes around
People notice (C major) that he's gone
Police (G major) men clone the village
And the (D major) vicar gets involved
They (A minor) nev er think to see
What's be (G major) neath the leafy (E minor) canopy
Of (C major) the marrow plant (D major) s that grow (E minor)
Yes, they grow (D major)
The (C major) marrow plant (D major) s that grow (E minor)
Summer (G major) time arrives,
and now (D major) everything is green
Birdsong (D minor) softly filters
through the branches (C major) of the trees
(E minor) An (G major) d (A minor) Samuel's allotment
is so (G major) nourished and abund (E minor) ant
When a (C major) giant mar (D major) row grows
(E minor) Yes it (D major) grows, a (C major) giant marrow (D major) grows
(E minor) Autumn (A major) comes again,
see a (C major) showbench draped in (A minor) black
A (G major) first prize ribbon,
but no (D major) one to pick it up
And it's (A minor) what he would have wanted,
say the
(G major) People as they go, (E minor)
to the (C major) local vil (D major) lage show
(E minor) To (D major) the show,
to the (C major) local village (D major) show
