I'm sorry you couldn't make it
               D9                       G9
You could have seen him, so weathered and dated
         E
He was a Johnny Come Lately
        A
And I know that you would hate him
         D9                  G9
If you'd seen his botanical leanings
            D9                            G9
First prize exhibit and all down to good spirit
           E
He was a Johnny Come Lately
        A
And I know that you would hate me
      D9                        G9
If I envied the things that he spoke of
      D9                        G9
How I envied the things that he thought of
          E
He was a Johnny Come Lately
      A
And I know that you would hate me
      G
If I told you that I made some time and stayed behind
                            Bm
To find out how to make a garden grow
          Gm              D
Where the sun no longer shines
      Gm
If I asked too many questions and I stayed behind
                            D
To find out how to make a garden grow
         E                                                A
But he never ever gave away the secret of this godforsaken soil
D9  G9
D9  G9
           D9                         G9
He didn't need us, just tempted and teased us
               D9                      G9
You could have been here, wishing you were here
             E
This was a Johnny Come Lately
        A
And I know that you would hate me
           E
He was a Johnny Come Lately
       A
And I know that you would hate me
      G
If I told you that I made some time and stayed behind
                           Bm
To find out how to make a garden grow
          Gm               A
Where the sun no longer shines
      G
He assured me that the seeds you sold were sound
                                   Bm
But I must have cast them all on stony ground
     Gm                D
And now the sun won't shine
             Gm
I must have asked too many questions
                                               D
And stayed behind to find out how to make a garden grow
         E                                                  A
But he never ever gave away the secret of this godforsaken soil.
