The Garden Song David Mallett

(D/F#)(D/G)(D/A)
(G)Inch by inch, (C)row by (G)row,
(C) Going to (D)make this (G)garden grow, (G2)(G)
(C) Going to (D)mulch it (G)deep (G/F#)and (Em)low,
Going to (A7)make it fertile (D)ground.
(G)Inch by inch, (C)row by (G)row,
(C) Please (D)bless these (G)seeds I sow, (G2)(G)
(C) Please (D)keep them (G)safe (G/F#)be(Em)low,
'Till the (A7)rain comes (D7)tumblin' (G)down. (G2)(G)

Pullin' weeds and (C)pickin' (G)stones,
(C) We are (D)made of (G)dreams and bones, (G2)(G)
(C) Need a (D)place to (G)call (G/F#)my (Em)own,
'Cause the (A7)time is close at (D)hand.
(G)Grain for grain, (C)sun and (G)rain,
(C) Find my (D)way in (G)nature's chain, (G2)(G)
(C) Tune my (D)body (G)and (G/F#)my (Em)brain
To the (A7)music (D)of the (G)land. (G4)(G)

Inch by inch, (C)row by (G)row,
(C) Going to (D)make this (G)garden grow, (G2)(G)
(C) Going to (D)mulch it (G)deep (G/F#)and (Em)low,
Going to (A7)make it fertile (D)ground.
(G)Inch by inch, (C)row by (G)row,
(C) Please (D)bless these (G)seeds I sow, (G2)(G)
(C) Please (D)keep them (G)safe (G/F#)be(Em)low,
'Till the (A7)rain comes (D7)tumblin' (G)down. (G2)(G)

Plant your rows (C)straight and (G)long,
(C)Season (D)with a (G)prayer and song, (G2)(G)
(C) Mother (D)Earth will (G)make (G/F#)you (Em)strong,
If you (A7)give her loving (D)care.
(G)Old crow watching (C)from a (G)tree,
He's (C)got his (D)hungry (G)eye on me, (G2)(G)
(C) In my (D)garden (G)I'm (G/F#)as (Em)free
As that (A7)feathered (D)thief up (G)there.

Inch by inch, (C)row by (G)row,
(C) Going to (D)make this (G)garden grow, (G2)(G)
(C) Going to (D)mulch it (G)deep (G/F#)and (Em)low,
Going to (A7)make it fertile (D)ground.
(G)Inch by inch, (C)row by (G)row,
(C) Please (D)bless these (G)seeds I sow, (G2)(G)
(C) Please (D)keep them (G)safe (G/F#)be(Em)low,
'Till the (A7)rain comes (D7)tumblin' (G)down.

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
