Chords for Guy Clark - "Homegrown Tomatoes" [Live from Austin, TX]

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
There ain't nothing in the world that I like better [E] than bacon and lettuce and homegrown tomatoes
[F#] _ _ _ [B] Get you a ripe [F#m] one, don't get a hard one
[B] Plant them in the spring, need them in the summer, [E] all winter without them's a culinary [C#] bummer
I forget [E] all about the sweating and digging, [B] every time I go out and [A#] pick me a [B] pickin'
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes
[E] What life be without homegrown [B] tomatoes?
[F#] Only two things that money can't buy, and that's true love and homegrown [Bm] tomatoes
_ [B] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ [F#] _ [B] Now you can go out and eat, and that's for sure, [E] but it's nothing a homegrown tomato won't [F#] cure
Put them in a salad, put them in a stew, [B] you can make a very [F#] own tomato juice
[B] You can eat them with eggs, you can eat them with [E] gravy, eat them with beans
Spent over in the [F#] Navy, put them on the side, put [B] them in the middle, put a homegrown [F#] tomato on a hot gate [Bm] griddle
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown [E] tomatoes
What life be without homegrown [F#] tomatoes?
Only two things that money can't [B] buy, and that's true [F#] love and homegrown [B] tomatoes _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ [A#] _ _

[E] _ _ _ _ [A#m] _ _ [F] _ _
_ [B] _ _ [D] _ [B] You can go out and eat
Yes you [E] can
Nothing a homegrown tomato won't cure
[F#] Put them in a salad, put them in a [B] stew, you can make a very own [F#] tomato juice
You [B] can eat them with eggs, you can eat them with gravy, [E] eat them with beans
Spent over in the Navy, [F#] put them on the side, put them in the middle, [B] put a homegrown tomato [F#] on a hot gate griddle
[B] Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes
[E] What life be without homegrown tomatoes?
[F#] Only two things that money can't buy, [B] and that's true [F#] love and homegrown [B] tomatoes
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes
[E] What life be without homegrown [F#] tomatoes?
Only two things that money can't [B] buy, and that's true [F#] love and homegrown [Bm] tomatoes

_ _ _ _ _ This is the first time I've played with anybody in five years and _ I start listening to what's going on and I forget what the hell I'm doing.
_ _ [D] _ _
I'm going to play this song written by my, maybe my best friend, Townes Van [D#] Zandt.
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _
[N] Townes is my favorite songwriter.
_ About 25, 30 years ago we were both living in Houston and he came banging on my door one morning, real early, and I was still in bed.
He came in the front door with his guitar player named Rocky Hill and some spoon player named Chico _ _
_ _ _ [G] and proceeded to set up in the corner of my bedroom and _ perform this song which he had just stayed up all night writing. _ _
