Camp- Century Plant

	  		G 
Outside my house is a cactus plant 
                       A 
they call the century tree 
G 
Only once in a hundred years 
                D 
it flowers gracefully 
G                                A 
and you never know when it will bloom 


D           A           C 
Hey, do you wanna come out 
      G        D 
and play the game? 
A       C         G 
it's never too late (2x)

G          Bb             F  
Clementine Hunter was fifty-four 
C           G             F   
before she packed up the pain 

C          G              Bb 
Old Uncle Taylor was eighty-one 
F         C      A 
when he rode his bike 
D         A            F 
across the plains of China (uh-huh) 
G                              D 
And the sun was shining on that day 
A     C     G 
just like today 

  
D           A           C 
Hey, do you wanna come out 
      G        D 
and play the game? 
A       C         G 
it's never too late (2x)

G           D           G 
Didn't know how to tell her 
G                      A 
for all the thirty years 
G                     A 
kept locked up inside himself 
G                    A 
and no one saw the tears 
G                   A 
and then she went away 
G                    A 
and he woke up that day 

Em                          D 
now he brings roses to his sweetheart 
G                  A 
she lives most anywhere 
Em         G          D 
he sees someone suffering 
G               A 
he knows that despair 
G                 A 
he offers them a rose 
G                  A  
and some quiet prose 
G                       A 
'bout dancin' in a shimmering ballroom 
 G                   D 
'cause you never know when  
A 
it will bloom 

 
D           A           C 
Hey, do you wanna come out 
      G        D 
and play the game?

it's never too late (8x)
