Victory Garden

[E] Let us plant now, a victory garden
That it may [A] grow, both wide and [E] tall
[E] Leave the corners for our neighbors
Plant it [B] now, for one and [E] all

Chorus:
In that [A] sweet sweet by and by, my friend
In that [E] sweet sweet by and [A] by
We will [E] gather for the harvest
In that [B] sweet sweet by and [E] by

In these [E] days of want and worry
In these [A] days of grief and [E] pain
[E] Dig and delve now. Uproot our anger
Turn the [B] soil, begin [E] again

In that [A] sweet sweet by and by, my friend
In that [E] sweet sweet by and [A] by
We will [E] sit down with our neighbors
In that sweet sweet [B] by and [E] by

[E] Let us bury our cruel indifference
Let us [A] bury our selfish [E] pride
[E] That we may grow now a common purpose
For that [B] sweet new by and [E] by

In that [A] sweet sweet by and by, my friend
In that [E] sweet sweet by and [A] by
We will [E] gather once more together
In that [B] sweet sweet by and [E] by

[E] Sow not fear now. Sow not division.
Sow not [A] greed now. Sow not [E] hate
But sow [E] justice. And sow compasssion
Sow now [B] love, the hour is [E] late

In that [A] sweet sweet by and by, my friend
In that [E] sweet sweet by and [A] by
We will [E] sing songs of rejoicing
In that [B] sweet sweet by and [A] by

Now we [E] shelter with our loved ones
Til the [A] day, this thing’s long [E] gone
But there’ll be [E] flowers come the springtime
Once this [B] darkness passes [E] on

In that [A] sweet sweet by and by, my friend
In that [E] sweet sweet by and [A] by
I’ll [E] embrace you, come the morning
In that [B] sweet sweet by and [E] by
In that [B] sweet sweet by and [E] by
In that [B] sweet sweet by and [E] by
