Mary Ellen's Greenhouse Jason Boland & The Stragglers
[Intro]
[C]
[Verse 1]
O[C]ne he grabs a guitar another claims a drum
One he finds a bass now who's the face to say the w[C7]ords we play al[F]ong
Chasing ghosts down the road and across the y[C]ard
Sometimes it's h[G]ard to find your s[C]ong
[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
[Cborus]
Something's gro[F]win' in the greenhouse
Lo[G]uder than a church bell
Hig[C]her than you c[C7]are to sing al[F]ong
There's a lot of love in Mary Ellen's green[G]house
Won't you look at all we've gr[C]own
[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?
[Cborus]
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
[Cborus]
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]
Yea, there's a l[F]ot of love in Mary Ellen's gree[G]nhouse
Won't you look at all we've gr[C]own
