D G D G A7 D
Inch by inch, row by row, gonna make this garden grow,
G A7 D G A7
All it takes is a rake and a hoe and a piece of fertile ground,
D G D G A7 D
Inch by inch row by row, someone bless these seeds I sow
G A7 D
Someone warm them from below,
G A7 D A7 D A7
'til the rains come tumbling down.
D G D G A7 D
Pulling weeds picking stones, man is made of dreams and bones,
G A7 D G A7
Feel the need to grow my own, 'cause the time is close at hand,
D G D G A7 D
Grain for grain, sun and rain, find my way in nature's chain
G A7 D
Tune my body and my brain
G A7 D A7 D A7
to the music of the land.
D G D G A7 D
Plant your rows straight and long, temper them with prayer and song,
G A7 D G A7
Mother earth will keep you strong if you give her love and care.
D G D G A7 D
An old crow watching hungri-ly, from his perch in yonder tree,
G A7 D
In my garden I'm as free
G A7 D A7 D A7
as that feathered thief up there
D G D G A7 D
Inch by inch, row by row, gonna make this garden grow,
G A7 D G A7
All it takes is a rake and a hoe and a piece of fertile ground,
D G D G A7 D
Inch by inch row by row, someone bless these seeds I sow
G A7 D
Someone warm them from below,
G A7 D A7 D
'til the rains come tumbling down. *
