Johnny Come Lately Catatonia
Warner Music UK
[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
[D9] [G9]
[D9] [G9]
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.
