I've been working on an album with Michael and [C] Foster and John Coburn, a family recording
about good food and the good earth.
So here's a song.
If I were an apple, I'd [F] be very unhappy.
[C] [A]
[G] [C] In a shipping container [F] that's from far off Tasmania to [C] a shelf in [G] a New Jersey [C] store.
[D] Why [F] should I be tortured [C] when some New Jersey orchard keeps me wholly [Am] thrilled to the core?
[G] To [C] pick me and crate me, [F] load me and freight me, [C] not four [G] thousand miles.
[C] [F] And I flow should be not far from the tree where it [A] ripens [Dm] in the [G] fall.
[C] Locally grown and locally [F] eaten is [C] globally good, good, [G] good for us [C] all.
Locally grown and locally [F] eaten is globally good, [G] good, good for [C] us all.
And if I were a berry, [F] I'd expect I'd be very [C] contrary [A] and hardly inclined.
[G]
[C] To ship out from Chile to a store in North Philly, hey, I'd have [G] to be out [C] of my mind.
[F] It seems [C] paradoxic and carbon dioxide, poor [A] solar food.
[G]
[C] Wasting gallons of fuel, [F] which we know is too old [C] for food.
[G] [C]
[F] A berry is fine [C] not far from, it's fine near the [A] farmer's market stall.
[G]
Locally grown and [F] locally eaten is [C] globally good, good, good for us all.
Locally grown and locally [F] eaten is globally [C] good, good, [G] good for [C] us all.
[F]
[C] [A] [Dm] [G]
[C] [F]
[G] So when you're walking the aisle [F] past a beautiful pile [C] of the fruit, you [A] might want to tend a pole.
[G] Do not buy [C] for the table [F] till you check out the label, [C] determine how [G] far it is wrong.
[C] Aside from the karma [G] of helping the farmer who lives in [A] your county or state [G] mall.
The berry [C] best leaves are old [F] you buy once in season, [C] the taste is [G] incredibly great.
So keep buying fruits from [C] regional dips if [F] you're farming [A] good and [A] small.
[G] Locally [C] grown and locally [F] eaten is globally [C] good, good, good for [F] us [C] all.
[G] [C] [Bb]
