Strum
D-DU-UDU
 I've given you sunshine
 I've given you dirt.
 You've given  me nothing
 But heartache and hurt.
 I'm beggin' you sweetly.
 I'm down on my knees.
 Oh, please-grow  for  me!
 I've given you plant  food
 And water to sip.
 I've given  you potash.
 You've given me zip.
 Oh God, how I mist  you
 Oh pod, how you tease
 Oh, please-
 grow for me!
 I've given you southern  exposure
 To get  you to thrive.
 I've pinched you back hard,
 Like I'm s'posed ta.
 You're barely  alive.
 I've tried  you at levels  of moisture
  /--E7b9--  -
 From desert to mud.
 I've given  you grow-lights
 And mineral supplements.
What  do you want from me- Blood?
 I've given you sunlight.
 I've given you rain.
 Looks like  you're not happy,
 'Less I open a vein.
 I'll give you a few  drops
 If that'll appease.
 Now please-
 oh please-
   - /  - /  - /  - /  -- /  -- /  -- /  --
 grow for me!
