[Chorus]

G+G       C majorC   G+G
Inch by inch, row by row,
C majorC        G+G
Gonna make this garden grow.
C majorC       G+G  G/F# E minorEm
Gonna mulch it deep and low,
   A augmentedA        D MajorD
Gonna make it fertile ground.
G+G       C majorC   G+G
Inch by inch, row by row,
C majorC         G+G
Please bless these seeds I sow.
C majorC        G+G  G/F# E minorEm
Please keep them safe below
     A augmentedA      D MajorD    G+G
'Til the rain comes tumbling down.

G+G         C majorC    G+G
Pullin' weeds and pickin' stones,
C majorC        G+G
We are made of dreams and bones
C majorC      G+G  G/F# E minorEm
Need spot to call my own
     A augmentedA    D MajorD
Cause the time is close at hand.
G+G        C majorC    G+G
Grain for grain, sun and rain
C majorC          G+G
I'll find my way in nature's chain
C majorC      G+G G/F# E minorEm
Tune my body and my brain
    A augmentedA   D MajorD   G+G
To the music of the land.

[Chorus]
G+G        C majorC      G+G
Plant your rows straight and long,
C majorC         G+G
Season them with a prayer and song
C majorC         G+G  G/F# E minorEm
Mother earth will keep you strong
    A augmentedA     D MajorD
If you give her love and care.
G+G         C majorC   G+G
Old crow watching from a tree
C majorC       G+G
Has his hungry eye on me
C majorC      G+G G/F# E minorEm
In my garden I'm as free
    A augmentedA     D MajorD    G+G
As that feathered thief up there.

[Chorus 2x]
