Arlo Guthrie – Garden Song (Guitar)

G             C     G
Inch by inch, row by row,

C               G       
Gonna make this garden grow.

C              G    G/F# Em
Gonna mulch it deep and low,

      A               D
Gonna make it fertile ground.

G             C      G
Inch by inch, row by row,

C                  G
Please bless these seeds I sow.

C                G   G/F# Em
Please keep them safe below

         A           D        G
'Til the rain comes tumbling down.

G                 C       G
Pullin' weeds and pickin' stones,

C               G
We are made of dreams and bones

C            G   G/F# Em
Need spot to call my own

          A        D
Cause the time is close at hand.

G                C       G
Grain for grain, sun and rain

C                   G
I'll find my way in nature's chain

C            G  G/F# Em  
Tune my body and my brain

       A      D     G
To the music of the land.

G                C           G
Plant your rows straight and long,

C                  G
Season them with a prayer and song

C                 G   G/F# Em
Mother earth will keep you strong

       A         D  
If you give her love and care.

G                 C      G
Old crow watching from a tree

C              G
Has his hungry eye on me

C            G  G/F# Em
In my garden I'm as free

        A         D        G
As that feathered thief up there.
