G                             Em
When I was a boy, there was a pretty little girl
G                        Em
Livin' in the house next door
G                            Em
Well all she wanted was some lightnin' bugs
    G          D          G
But I wanted a little bit more
    G                          Em
So, every evenin' when the sun went down
     G                         Em
We'd go where there weren't no cars
      G                   Em
She'd fill it up, and I'd watch her smile
          G                     D     G
There's a lot you can do with a mason jar

[Chorus]
         C                         G
It's the little things that make a big world spin
 C                     G
'Round and 'round and 'round again
C                    G                   C
Don't give up or get down when life gets hard
                 G                     D     G
'Cause there's a lot you can do with a mason jar

[Verse 2]
      G                    Em
A few years went by, and I grew up
   G                   Em
At least that's what I thought
 G                             Em
Started gettin' into somethin' hippie friends do
     G             D       G
It's funny, but it made me cough
     G                      Em
When daddy got wind of what I'd been doin'
  G                        Em
I hid it in a stump in the yard
    G                Em
He turned that house inside and out
              G                     D     G
But there's a lot you can do with a mason jar

[Chorus]
         C                         G
It's the little things that make a big world spin
 C                     G
'Round and 'round and 'round again
C                    G                   C
Don't give up or get down when life gets hard
                 G                     D     G   C G C
'Cause there's a lot you can do with a mason jar

[Bridge]
    D                     C                      G
Now I've been married ten years to the girl next door
    D                 C               G
And we spend most our evenings on the porch
D               C             G
Iced tea is all I put in this glass
         F                 C                D
That the kids use to catch fireflies in the yard
             C
Aw, it's true
          C                     D     G
There's a lot you can do with a mason jar

[Chorus]
         C                         G
It's the little things that make a big world spin
 C                     G
'Round and 'round and 'round again
C                    G                   C
Don't give up or get down when life gets hard
                 C                     D     G  C G
'Cause there's a lot you can do with a mason jar

[Outro]
C            G  C G
With a mason jar
