INCH BY INCH

This is a realy fun kids song.  You can even add hand motions and actions to it.

G
Inch by inch
C      G
Row by row
C               G
Gonna make this garden grow
C                 G                           
All it takes is a rake and a hoe
          Am           D
And a piece of fertile ground

G
Inch by inch
C      G
Row by row
C                   G
Someone bless these seeds I sow
C                 G                               
Someone warm them from below
         Am                  D
Till the rain comes tumblin’ down

G              C       G
Pulling weeks, picking stones
C              G           
We are made of dreams and bones
C               G
Need a place to call my own
           Am               D
‘Cause the time is close at hand

G
Grain for Grain
C       G 
Sun and rain
C              G
We are part of nature’s chain
C            G
Tune my body and my brain
       Am       D   G
To the music of the land
