Garden Song

	  		
 
D                       G     D       G              A            D  
Inch by inch, row by row,  I'm gonna make this garden grow.  

G            A           D          Bm             E7                  A7  
All it takes is a rake and a hoe and a piece of fertile ground.  

D                     G        D        G           A                        D  
Inch by inch, row by row, someone bless these seeds I sow.  

G               A                D       Bm            E7                A         D 
Someone warm them from below till the rain comes tumbling down.
  


D                                G           D      G           A           D  
Pulling weeds and picking stones, we are made of dreams and bones.  

G                 A           D       Bm                 E7                    A7  
I feel the need to grow my own 'cause the time is close at hand.  

D                        G          D       G         A            D  
Grain for grain, sun and rain, I find my way in nature's chain,  

G                 A       D         Bm             E7           A  
I tune my body and my brain to the music of the land. 

Chorus   

Verse 3:
 
           D                       G           D            G          A                D 
So, plant your rows straight and long and temper them with prayer and song. 
G             A            D              Bm             E7                  A7 
Mother earth can keep you strong if you give her love and care. 
             D                            G      D     G         A             D 
Now, an old crow's watching hungrily from his perch in yonder tree. 
G             A     D         Bm                E7                   D 
In my garden I'm as free as that feathered thief up there.
