D            G      D    G          A           D
Inch by inch row by row gonna make this garden grow
G            A         D     Bm  Em          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
someone warm them from below til 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     Em           A7
I feel the need is to grow my own til the time is close ahead
D               G       D    G         A       D
Grain for grain sun and rain I find my ways in nature's chain
G      A        D     Bm    Em           A7
I tune my body and my brain to the music of the land
(chorus)
D                   G            D    G
So plant your rows straight and long and temper them
A           D        G            A        D
with prayer and song mother earth can keep you strong
Bm       Em       A7       D
and give her love and care there was an old crow watching
G      D    G        A        D
Hunger leaf from his perching yonder tree
G            A      D    Bm      Em            A7
In my garden I'm as free as that feather theif up there
(chorus)
