[Intro]
Am Am x2
[Verse 1]
Am F C
This year in my garden, I grow peppers and tomatoes
F C G Em
Peppers and tomatoes, they grow together well
Am F C
And my neighbors all around me, they grow beans and potatoes
F C G Em Am
Cabbages and onions in the village where we dwell
[Verse 2]
Am F C
And later in the year, we will bring wine to the table
F C G Em
Bring wine to the table and reap what we have sown
Am F C
Like my father did before and his father did before him
F C G Em Am
And his father did before him, we will share what we have grown
[Chorus]
Am F F Em
This little patch of dirt, this little pile of stones
Em F G N.C.
I can wash the dust from off my face and skin
Am Am
But this earth is in my bones
[Verse 3]
Am F C
Military vehicles are passing through our village
F C G Em
Passing through our village with young soldiers ill at ease
Am F C
Unsmiling and unshaven, distrustful and uncertain
F C G Em Am
Distrustful and uncertain and all smoking constantly
[Verse 4]
Am F C
My neighbors say, "Don't worry for you are one of us
F C G Em
You are one of us and it will not happen here"
Am F C
But the next night at the cafe, when I bring wine to the table
F C G Em Am
When I bring wine to the table, they are sitting drinking beer
[Verse 5]
Am F C
Last night the hand of friendship fell heavy on my shoulders
