[HANASHIR:12291] Re: The Garden Song

[Carol Boyd Leon <cbleon...>]

Because I find the term "someone" in the song to be troublesome, I sing it 
(with apologies to the songwriter): "...row by row, please bless these seeds 
I sow, Keep them warm..."

Hi Karen,

Here're the lyrics and chords I have for that song.

Scott


             "The Garden Song"


C       E-    D-     C    D-    G         C      C/G
Inch by inch, row by row, gonna make this garden grow
D-     G          C    /B    A-         D-               G
All it takes is a rake and a hoe, and a piece of furtile ground
Inch by inch, row by row, someone bless these seeds I sow
Someone warm them from below, 'till the rain comes tumbling down


Pullin' weeds, pickin' stones, we are made of dreams and bones
Feel the need to grow my own, for the time is close at hand
Grain for grain, sun and rain, find my way in nature's chain
Tune my body and my brain to the music of the land

(chorus)

Plant your rows straight and long, season with a prayer and song
Mother earth will make you strong if you give her love and care
There's an old crow watching hungerly, from his perch on yonder tree
In my garden I'm as free as that feathered thief up there.

(chorus)

=====
