Garden Song

C F C Inch by inch, row by row F C Gonna make this garden grow F C All it takes is a rake and a hoe D G And a piece of fertile ground C F C Inch by inch, row by row F C Someone bless these seeds I sow F C Someone warm them from below D G7 C 'Till the rain comes tumblin' down C F C Pullin' weeds and pickin' stones F C Man is made of dreams and bones F C Feel the need to grow my own D G 'Cause the time is close at hand C F C Grain for grain, sun and rain F C Find my way in Nature's chain F C Tune my body and my brain D G7 C To the music from the land C F C Plant your rows straight and long F C Temper them with prayer and song F C Mother Earth will make you strong D G If you give her loving care C F C An old crow watching hungrily F C From his perch in yonder tree F C In my garden I'm as free D G7 C As that feathered thief up there
