Scarecrow In The Garden Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Bm][D][Bm][D]
[Bm][D][A][Bm][Bm]

[Verse 1]
Well, he [Bm]came from Northern [D]Ireland
Searching [Bm]for the free man's g[D]round
And he [Bm]came to bet his [D]fortune
On a [A]West Virginia [Bm]plow
[A][Bm]

[Verse 2]
He [Bm]built a house of [D]timber
And [Bm]raised a redhead [D]son
Then they [Bm]worked the land to[D]gether
And [A]prayed the rain would [Bm]come[Bm]

[Chorus 1]
There's a [G]scarecrow in the [D]garden
That [A]looks like Luci[Bm]fer
And I've been [G]reading Reve[Bm]lations
With my [A]bare feet in the [Bm]river

[Interlude 1]
[Bm][D][Bm][D]
[Bm][D][A][Bm][Bm]

[Verse 3]
Well, the [Bm]redhead son got [D]older
And [Bm]took a brown-eyed [D]wife
And the [Bm]fields were green as [D]dollars
'Cause the [A]dirt was black as [Bm]night[Bm]

[Verse 4]
I [Bm]came in late Sep[D]tember
The [Bm]youngest one of [D]three
And my [Bm]sisters off and [D]married
So the [A]land was left to [Bm]me[Bm]

[Chorus 2]
There's a [G]scarecrow in the [D]garden
That [A]looks like Luci[Bm]fer
And I've been [G]reading Reve[Bm]lations
With my [A]bare feet in the [Bm]river[Bm]

[Bridge 1]
I know [A]every single fence-post
Every [G]rock that goes a[Bm]round
I've been [A]staring at the red oak
Where I [G]know they'll lay me [Bm]down[Bm]

[Verse 5]
The [Bm]fields ain't what they [D]once were
The [Bm]rains just seem to [D]flood
And I've been [Bm]thinking 'bout that [D]river
Wondering [A]how it turns to [Bm]blood[Bm]

[Verse 6]
I've been [Bm]sitting here all [D]morning
I was [Bm]sitting here all [D]night
There's a [Bm]Bible in my [D]left hand
And a [A]pistol in my [Bm]right
