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
grandma 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 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)
