[Verse 1]
GAnd the weatherman said to my friend, "What's your nCame?"
My friend said, "Write yours down, mine is alC7most the same."
GErase the "S" and "M" in their place put a "GC" and "R"
And an "ND" look at me whC7at's that say
GThen the weatherman stood with his head hung in shamCe
He took off his big belt, put it down, turned C7away
GBut my friend said, "Don't leave, I just harvested bCeets,
let's go eat at my plC7ace."
[Verse 2]
GWith his mouth full the weatherman stared at his plaCte
And he knew it was his heart that made my friend C7great
GNot his muscles, his money, his job or his name or hCis fame
See my friend isn't famoC7us
GHe is just a good person who grows what he Ceats
And if you have a mouth then he will try to fC7eed you
GAnd if you are cold he'll put wood in the stoveC  
Grab a quilt and some warm flannel sC7heets
[Verse 3]
GSo the Grand Champion called up Sam ChampionC  
Said, "Let's plant a garden in the heart of this C7wasteland."
GAnd Sam said, "Hey man, this'll be breaking news,"C  
but Grand said, "I won't wait for your camera C7crews.
GSee, I don't do what I do for the glory.C  
I do what I do because it's a goC7od story.
GI do what I do because there is a need and aC  
hunger created by corporate C7greed.
[Verse 4]
GSee, there's a surplus of food in this countCry,
And nobody should ever go to sleep C7hungry,
GBut that food is kept under lock and kCey
Considered a privilege for people with moC7ney."
GThen the weatherman dropped to his hands his kneesC  
With a tear in his eye and unable to sC7peak
GHe was driven to action by only compaCssion
He dug in the dirt and he plC7anted some beaGns
CPlanted some beans
GPlanted some beans
CPlanted some beans
GPlanted some beans
[Outro]
N.C.
Grandma said to me
N.C.
If you only have one bean
N.C.
And you meet someone with no bean
N.C.
You should give them half your bean
N.C.
Cause you will be less hungry
N.C.
If you eat just half a bean
N.C.
Than if you eat a whole bean in front of somebody with no bean.

[Verse 1]

G C

And the weatherman said to my friend, "What's your name?"

My friend said, "Write yours down, mine is almost the same."

G C

Erase the "S" and "M" in their place put a "G" and "R"

And an "ND" look at me what's that say

G C

Then the weatherman stood with his head hung in shame

He took off his big belt, put it down, turned away

G C

But my friend said, "Don't leave, I just harvested beets,

let's go eat at my place."

[Verse 2]

G C

With his mouth full the weatherman stared at his plate

And he knew it was his heart that made my friend great

G C

Not his muscles, his money, his job or his name or his fame

See my friend isn't famous

G C

He is just a good person who grows what he eats

And if you have a mouth then he will try to feed you

G C

And if you are cold he'll put wood in the stove

Grab a quilt and some warm flannel sheets

[Verse 3]

G C

So the Grand Champion called up Sam Champion

Said, "Let's plant a garden in the heart of this wasteland."

G C

And Sam said, "Hey man, this'll be breaking news,"

but Grand said, "I won't wait for your camera crews.

G C

See, I don't do what I do for the glory.

I do what I do because it's a good story.

G C

I do what I do because there is a need and a

hunger created by corporate greed.

[Verse 4]

G C

See, there's a surplus of food in this country,

And nobody should ever go to sleep hungry,

G C

But that food is kept under lock and key

Considered a privilege for people with money."

G C

Then the weatherman dropped to his hands his knees

With a tear in his eye and unable to speak

G C

He was driven to action by only compassion

C7 G

He dug in the dirt and he planted some beans

Planted some beans

[Outro]

N.C.

Grandma said to me

N.C.

If you only have one bean

N.C.

And you meet someone with no bean

N.C.

You should give them half your bean

N.C.

Cause you will be less hungry

N.C.

If you eat just half a bean

N.C.

Than if you eat a whole bean in front of somebody with no bean.
