D9
I'm D9 sorry you couldn't G9 make it
You could have D9 seen him, so weathered an G9 d dated
He was a E Johnny Come Lately
And I kn A ow that you would hate him
If you'd D9 seen his botanical l G9 eanings
First prize D9 exhibit and all down to good s G9 pirit
He was a Jo E hnny Come Lately
And I kn A ow that you would hate me
If I e D9 nvied the things that he s G9 poke of
How I D9 envied the things that he G9 thought of
He was a J E ohnny Come Lately
And I A know that you would hate me
If I t G old you that I made some time and stayed behind
To find out how to make a ga Bm rden grow
Where the Gm sun no longer sh D ines
If I a Gm sked too many questions and I stayed behind
To find out how to make a ga D rden grow
But he ne E ver ever gave away the secret of this godforsaken A soil
He didn't n D9 eed us, just tempted and te G9 ased us
You could have D9 been here, wishing you w G9 ere here
This was a Jo E hnny Come Lately
And I kn A ow that you would hate me
He was a Jo E hnny Come Lately
And I k A now that you would hate me
If I t G old you that I made some time and stayed behind
To find out how to make a g Bm arden grow
Where the Gm sun no longer shi A nes
He ass G ured me that the seeds you sold were sound
But I must have cast them all on st Bm ony ground
And n Gm ow the sun won't s D hine
I must have a Gm sked too many questions
And stayed behind to find out how to make a gar D den grow
But he ne E ver ever gave away the secret of this godforsaken s A oil.
D9 Picking pattern:
"If D9 I told you that.. G9 ." "sun no long A er shines"
