AHe lost his job, wife, home, car, kids, and lifeD.
[Bridge 1]
D7He’d go downtown to buy some groceries,
GHe went because his family was hungry,
DHe always bought red meat and potatoes
ABut he wouldn’t touch those ugly tomatoesD…
[Verse 2]
DHe didn’t know why he hated tomatoes,
AThey were just as ugly as far as ugly goes, 
DThere in the store, when no-one was watchin’,
AHe’d set melons on them and laugh at their squashin’D.
