Intro
C

Verse 1
 C
One he grabs a guitar another claims a drum 
                                                   C7             F
One he finds a bass now who's the face to say the words we play along
                                             C
Chasing ghosts down the road and across the yard
                G                 C
Sometimes it's hard to find your song

Verse 2
One he sits and smokes a pipe another to and fro
Back and forth he cussed us and done said, "You know what we all need?
A cool drink and somethin' warm to eat."
We tap our feet. Sweet honey mead

Chorus
               F
Something's growin' in the greenhouse
  G
Louder than a church bell
   C             C7            F
Higher than you care to sing along
                                           G
There's a lot of love in Mary Ellen's greenhouse 
                              C
Won't you look at all we've grown

Verse 3
The years go by two at a time the days go by for days
The feeling's for the moment and we only hope they stay along with old friends
I've been blessed beyond belief with folks I know
like Al and Joe. Boys, how you been?

Chorus
Something's growin' in the greenhouse
Louder than a church bell
Higher than you care to sing along
There's a lot of love in Mary Ellen's greenhouse 
Won't you look at all we've grown

Verse 4
Lookin' back from time to time mostly forward now
The present is a gift and if we lift it up somehow I know we'll all heal
Let the music take your prayers toward the sky 
Let 'em fly towards somethin real

Chorus
Something's growin' in the greenhouse
Louder than a church bell
Higher than you care to sing along
It's been a long time since Mary Ellen's greenhouse 
Won't you look at all we've grown

Outro
                F                              G                      
Yea, there's a lot of love in Mary Ellen's greenhouse 
                              C
Won't you look at all we've grown
