Garden Song by David Mallett

G C G C D G

Inch by inch, row by row, gonna make this garden grow

C D G C D

All it takes is a rake and a hoe and a piece of fertile ground

G C G C D G

Inch by Inch, row by row, someone bless these seeds I sow

C D G C D G

Someone warm them from below ‘til the rain comes tumblin’ down

G C G C D G

Pullin' weeds and pickin' stones, man is made of dreams and bones

C D G C D

Need a place to call my own, 'cause the time is close at hand

G C G C D G

Grain for grain, sun and rain, find my way in nature's chain

C D G C D G

Tune my body and my brain, to the music of the land

G C G C D G

Plant your rows straight and long, season with a prayer and song

C D G C D

Mother Earth will make you strong if you give her love and care

G C G C D G

Old crow watchin’ hungrily from his perch in yonder tree

C D G C D G

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

G C G C D G

Inch by inch, row by row, gonna make this garden grow

C D G C D

All it takes is a rake and a hoe and a piece of fertile ground

G C G C D G

Inch by Inch, row by row, someone bless these seeds I sow

C D G C D G

Someone warm them from below ‘til the rain comes tumblin’ down

G C D G

‘Til the rain comes tumblin’ down

Animals - The House Of The Rising Sun

Chords used:

Am C D F There is a house in New Orleans, Am C E E7 They call it Rising Sun. Am C D F And it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy, Am E7 Am And God, I know I’m one. My mother was a tailor She sewed my new blue jeans My father was a gambling man Down in New Orleans. And the only thing a gambler needs Is a suitcase and a trunk. And the only time he is satisfied Is when he`s down and drunk. So mother tell your children Not to do what I have done Spend your lives in sin and misery In the House of a Rising sun. Well I`ve got one foot on the platform The other foot on the train. I?m going back to New Orleans To wear that ball and chain. There is a house in New Orleans, They call it Rising Sun. And it`s been the ruin of many a poor boy, And God, I know I`m one.
