Mary Ellen's Greenhouse
Recorded by Jason Boland & The Stragglers
Intro.: (C) x 8 bars
(Verse 1)
(C)One, he grabs a guitar, another claims a drum
One, he finds a bass now who's the face to say the (C7)words we play a-(F)long
Chasing ghosts down the road and across the (C)yard
Sometimes it's (G)hard to find your (C)song
(Verse 2)
(C)One, he sits and smokes a pipe, another to and fro
Back and forth he cussed us and done said, "You (C7)know what we (F)all need?
A cool drink and somethin' warm to (C)eat"
We tap our (G)feet, sweet honey (C)mead (C7)
(Chorus)
Something's (F)growin' in the greenhouse, (G)louder than a church bell
(C)Higher than you (C7)care to sing a-(F)long
There's a lot of love in Mary Ellen's (G)greenhouse
Won't you look at all we've (C)grown
(Verse 3)
The (C)years go by two at a time the days go by for days
The feeling's for the moment and we only hope they (C7)stay along with (F)old friends
I've been blessed beyond belief with folks I (C)know
Like Al and (G)Joe, boys, how you've (C)been?
Repeat Chorus
Inst.: |(F) |(F) |(G) |(G) |(C) |(C7) |(F) |(F) |
|(F) |(F) |(G) |(G) |(C) |(C) |(C) |(C) |
(Verse 4)
(C)Lookin' back from time to time mostly forward now
The present is a gift and if we lift it up some-(C7)how I know we'll (F)all heal
Let the music take your prayers toward the (C)sky
Let 'em (G)fly towards somethin' (C)real
Repeat Chorus
(Tag)
Yeah, there's a (F)lot of love in Mary Ellen's (G)greenhouse
Won't you look at all we've (C)grown (C) -----
