Verse 1: 
 
E5                                A5 
I used to love to walk behind my daddy 
B5                             E5 
as he plowed our garden every spring 
                                          A5 
little barefeet in the dirt would make me happy 
      B5                                    E5 
as he talked about what harvest time would bring 
                                         A5 
he'd say "Son this whole world is like a garden 
    B5                              E5 
and what you sow your surely gonna reap 
                                          A5 
when bitter seeds are planted hearts will hardened 
      B5                                 E5 
but a caring hand will make the harvest sweet....And 

 
              A5                   E5 
He was sowin' love....... for the family 
              B5                    E5            E5 
he was sowin' love...... he took a little extra time 
        A5                      E5 
looking forward to a bountiful harvest 
       B5 
like a good father does 
              E5 
he was sowin' love  
 
Verse 2: 
E5                                      A5 
How I used to love to set and watch my mama 
B5                               E5 
working with her needle and her thread 
                                 A5 
so patiently she'd listen to our problems 
       B5                            E5 
and we knew she heard every word we said 
                                              A5 
she'd say,"Children this old world is full of scratches 
    B5                                 E5 
and in your life your bound to have a few 
                                         A5 
I guess that's why the good Lord gave us patches 
   B5                                   E5 
so we could start each day out feeling new

She was sowin' love...... for the family

she was sowin' love...... she took a little extra time 
        A5                      E5 
looking forward to a bountiful harvest 
       B5                                 E5 
like a good mama does.... she was sowin' love
