Scarecrow In The Garden Chords

Capo 4 Key E

[Intro]
C  Am
 
[Verse 1]
         Am                 C
Well he came from Northern Ireland
          Am                 C
Searching for the free man's ground
  Am                 C
And he came to bet his fortune
      G              Am
On a West Virginia plow
 
[Bridge]
Am
 
[Verse 2]
   Am               C
He built a house of timber
     Am              C
And raised a redhead son
           Am             C
Then they worked the land together
    G                     Am
And prayed the rain would come
 
[Chorus]
           F               C
There's a scarecrow in the garden
     G          Am
That looks like Lucifer
              F              Am
And I've been reading Revelations
        G                Am
With my bare feet in the river
 
[Bridge 2]
C  Am
 
[Verse 3]
         Am                C
Well the redhead's son got older
    Am                C
And took a brown eyed wife
         Am                  C
And the fields were green as dollars
          G                 Am
Cause the dirt was black as night
 
[Bridge 3]
  Am
 
[Verse 4]
  Am           C
I came in late September
    Am              C
The youngest one of three
       Am              C
And my sisters off and married
       G                Am
So the land was left to me
 
[Chorus]
           F               C
There's a scarecrow in the garden
     G          Am
That looks like Lucifer
              F              Am
And I've been reading Revelations
        G                Am
With my bare feet in the river
 
[Verse 5]
  G
I know every single fencepost
      F              Am
Every rock that goes around
          G
I've been staring at the red oak
        F                   Am
Where I know they'll lay me down
 
[Verse 6]
    Am                          C
The fields ain't what they once were
    Am                 C
The rains just seem to flood
              Am                  C
And I've been thinking about that river
          G                Am
Wondering how it turned to blood
 
[Outro] (single strum each chord)
          Am               C
I've been sitting here all morning
      Am               C
I was sitting here all night
          Am               C
There's a bible in my left hand
      G            Am
And a pistol in my right
