Bright
To play like Charlie: Capo second fret-play G
G AM C G
When I told you that I was traveling, that I was on my way
AM C G
I never expected you to be so ready, at the end of the day
EM AM
There were greens from your garden
EM AM
There were tomatoes from the fence
G EM C D-G
And there was you, you, only you, all key ingredients
G AM C G
We met at a fiesta, introduced by a mutual friend
AM
Over the local flavors and the sweet well water
C G
We stayed until the end
EM AM EM AM
Then your memory knew wherever I was, and wherever I went
G EM C D-G
Constantly reminding me of key ingredients
EM AM
Start with American traditions
EM AM
Fold in family and friends
G EM C D-G
And add, you, you, only you, all key ingredients
Additional Verses
You had your own road to go, your own seeds to plant
You own triumphs, trips, and times, across the Continent
You tasted life, you drank it up, you kept your common sense
With friends, family, and love, all key Ingredients
Trees harbor a farmhouse, surrounded by wheat, gold and red
Tractor in a field turning a furrow, over and over again
That is open to the sun, then to the moon, in a night not over yet
Promising to be a recipe for key ingredients
I'm standing in your kitchen, having a glass or two
Home cooking almost ready, seasoned just a bit with you
And the way I live now, heaven; is not always heaven-sent
But sometimes comes with open arms and key ingredients
