[Verse 2]
    A
The corn is born in the
 soil of the summer

Plant a seed in your mind
 that'll grow a big a smile
        G
Start a club for the bugs
 in the compost pile.
         F                
It's the habit of a rabbit
       C
 to be nibbling with the grin.
F                          
You can chase the bunny off 
          G
he'll be coming back again

For the vegetable secrets (mmm)

I do the eggplant dance while

How to play Vegetable Secrets: key, chords and progression

Vegetable Secrets by Jesse Welles is written in D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯) and moves through 4 chords: A, G, F and C.

Most of the song cycles through G – A – G – F (IV – V – IV – ♭III in D major). Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes E, D, C, G (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
