Based on Peter, Paul and Mommy too version(Children's music concert version)
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
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 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
[Verse 2]
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
Hungrily from his perch in yonder tree
G A D Bm Em A7
In my garden I'm as free as that feathered thief up there
[Chorus]
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
