^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.

"If ^D9 I told you that.. ^G9 ." "sun no long ^A er shines"
