Gonna make this garden grow.

Gonna make it fertile ground.

'Til the rains come tumbling down.

[Verse 1]

C                 F       C
Pullin' weeds and pickin' stones,
Dm     G6      C
We are made of dreams and bones
Dm   G6      C   C/B Am
Need spot to call my own
          Dm             G7
For the time is close at hand.
C                F       C
Grain for grain, sun and rain
     Dm      G6     C
I'll find my way in nature's chain
Dm      G6   C  C/B Am
Tune my body and my brain
       D7    G     C
To the music of the land.

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]

C                F       C
Plant your rows short or long,
Dm       G6     C
Seasoned with a cheerful song
Dm     G6         C    C/B Am
Mother earth will keep you strong
       Dm              G7
If you give her loving care.
C                 F      C
Old crow watching from a tree
Dm      G6     C
Has his hungry eye on me
Dm    G6     C  C/B Am
In my garden I'm as free
        D7        G        C
As that feathered thief up there.

[Chorus]
