Peter Paul And Mary - Garden Song

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

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 )
