D            G         D
Inch by inch, row by row, 
G               D
Gonna make this garden grow, 
G                 D          Bm 
All it takes is a rake and a hoe,
      E7                A
And a piece of fertile ground.
 D            G       D
Inch by inch, row by row, 
G                   D
Someone bless these seeds I sow, 
G       D         Bm 
Someone warm them from below,
          E7         A7       D
'Till the rain comes tumblin' down.

D                  G      D
Pullin' weeds and pickin' stones, 
G               D
Man is made of dreams and bones, 
G                D        Bm 
Feel the need to grow my own, 
            E7               A
'Cause the time is close at hand.
D                G       D
Grain for grain, sun and rain, 
G              D
Find my way in Nature's chain, 
G             D     Bm 
Tune my body and my brain 
       E7     A7        D
To the music from the land.

D            G         D
Inch by inch, row by row, 
G               D
Gonna make this garden grow, 
G                 D          Bm 
All it takes is a rake and a hoe,
      E7                A
And a piece of fertile ground.
 D            G       D
Inch by inch, row by row, 
G                   D
Someone bless these seeds I sow, 
G       D         Bm 
Someone warm them from below,
          E7         A7       D
'Till the rain comes tumblin' down.

D               G            D
Plant your rows straight and long, 
G                D
Temper them with prayer and song, 
G                 D        Bm 
Mother Earth will make you strong 
        E7            A
If you give her loving care.
D                    G      D
An old crow watching hungrily 
G                 D
From his perch in yonder tree, 
G            D       Bm 
In my garden I'm as free
        E7        A7        D
As that feathered thief up there.
