Mary Ellens Greenhouse

C

[Verse 1]
 C
One he grabs a guitar another claims a drum
                                                   C7             F
One he finds a bass now who's the face to say the words we play along
                                             C
Chasing ghosts down the road and across the yard
                G                 C
Sometimes it's hard to find your song

[Verse 2]
One he sits and smokes a pipe another to and fro
Back and forth he cussed us and done said, "You know what we all need?
A cool drink and somethin' warm to eat."
We tap our feet. Sweet honey mead

[Chorus]
               F
Something's growin' in the greenhouse
  G
Louder than a church bell
   C             C7            F
Higher than you care to sing along
                                           G
There's a lot of love in Mary Ellen's greenhouse
                              C
Won't you look at all we've grown

[Verse 3]
The years go by two at a time the days go by for days
The feeling's for the moment and we only hope they stay along with old friends
I've been blessed beyond belief with folks I know
like Al and Joe. Boys, how you been?

[Chorus]
Something's growin' in the greenhouse
Louder than a church bell
Higher than you care to sing along
There's a lot of love in Mary Ellen's greenhouse
Won't you look at all we've grown

[Verse 4]
Lookin' back from time to time mostly forward now
The present is a gift and if we lift it up somehow I know we'll all heal
Let the music take your prayers toward the sky
Let 'em fly towards somethin real

[Chorus]
Something's growin' in the greenhouse
Louder than a church bell
Higher than you care to sing along
It's been a long time since Mary Ellen's greenhouse
Won't you look at all we've grown

[Outro]
                F                              G
Yea, there's a lot of love in Mary Ellen's greenhouse
                              C
Won't you look at all we've grown
