I'm sorry you couldn't make it
RE9 SOL9
You could have seen him, so weathered and dated
MI
He was a Johnny Come Lately
LA
And I know that you would hate him
RE9 SOL9
If you'd seen his botanical leanings
RE9 SOL9
First prize exhibit and all down to good spirit
MI
He was a Johnny Come Lately
LA
And I know that you would hate me
RE9 SOL9
If I envied the things that he spoke of
RE9 SOL9
How I envied the things that he thought of
MI
He was a Johnny Come Lately
LA
And I know that you would hate me
SOL
If I told you that I made some time and stayed behind
SIm
To find out how to make a garden grow
SOLm RE
Where the sun no longer shines
SOLm
If I asked too many questions and I stayed behind
RE
To find out how to make a garden grow
MI LA
But he never ever gave away the secret of this godforsaken soil
RE9 SOL9
RE9 SOL9
RE9 SOL9
He didn't need us, just tempted and teased us
RE9 SOL9
You could have been here, wishing you were here
MI
This was a Johnny Come Lately
LA
And I know that you would hate me
MI
He was a Johnny Come Lately
LA
And I know that you would hate me
SOL
If I told you that I made some time and stayed behind
SIm
To find out how to make a garden grow
SOLm LA
Where the sun no longer shines
SOL
He assured me that the seeds you sold were sound
SIm
But I must have cast them all on stony ground
SOLm RE
And now the sun won't shine
SOLm
I must have asked too many questions
RE
And stayed behind to find out how to make a garden grow
MI LA
But he never ever gave away the secret of this godforsaken soil.
