1. Inch by inch, row by row, gonna make
this garden grow,
G A D Em A
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 Em A
D
someone
warm them from below, 'til the rain comes tumbling down.

Old crow watching hungrily,
from his perch in yonder tree,

in my
garden I'm as free as that feathered thief up there.
