Canned Goods by Greg Brown from One More Goodnight Kiss (1988) Contributed by Justus Koshiol Standard Tuning Intro G D G Em Let wild winter winds bellow 'n' blow G C D G C G I'm as warm as a July to ma to. [chorus:] C Peaches on the shelf G Potatoes in the bin D G D Supper's ready, everybody come on in D G Taste a little of the summer, D G Taste a little of the summer, D G You can taste a little of the summer C D G my grandma's put it all in jars. D G Well, there's a root cellar, fruit cellar down below Em G Watch you head now, and down you go (Chorus) D G Maybe you're weary an' you don't give a damn Em G I bet you never tasted her blackberry jam. (Chorus) D G Ah, she's got magic in her - you know what I mean Em G She puts the sun and rain in with her green beans. (Chorus) D G What with the snow and the economy and ev'ry'thing, Em G I think I'll jus' stay down here and eat until spring. (Chorus) D G When I go down to see my grandma I gain a lot of weight Em G With her dear hands she gives me plate after plate. C G She cans the pickles, sweet & dill D G She cans the songs of the whippoorwill D G And the morning dew and the evening moon D G I really got to go see her soon D G 'Cause these canned goods I buy at the store D G Ain't got the summer in them anymore. D G You bet, grandma, as sure as you're born D G I'll take some more potatoes and a thunderstorm. (Chorus)
