[Intro]
C#m E C#m E C#m E B C#m
[Verse]
Well he C#mcame from Northern IreEland
SearchiC#mng for the free man's gEround
And he cC#mame to bet his fortuEne
On a BWest Virginia plC#mow B C#m
He buiC#mlt a house of timbEer
And raC#mised a redhead sEon
Then they woC#mrked the land togethEer
And prBayed the rain would cC#mome
[Chorus]
There's a scAarecrow in the gaErden
That loBoks like LucifC#mer
And I've been Areading RevelatiC#mons
With my bBare feet in the dC#mirt
[Instrumental]
E C#m E C#m E B C#m
[Verse]
Well the redC#mhead's son got olEder
And toC#mok a brown eyed wiEfe
And the fiC#melds were green as dolElars
Cause the diBrt was black as niC#mght
I C#mcame in late SepteEmber
The yoC#mungest one of thEree
And my sC#misters off and marEried
So the laBnd was left C#mto me
[Chorus]
There's a scAarecrow in the gaErden
That loBoks like LuciC#mfer
And I've beenA reading RevelatiC#mons
With my bBare feet in the dC#mirt
[Bridge]
I know evBery single fencepost
Every rAock that goes aroC#mund
I've been stBaring at the red oak
Where I kAnow they'll lay me dC#mown
[Verse]
The C#mfields ain't what they oEnce were
The rC#mains just seem to fElood
And I've been tC#mhinking about that riEver
Wondering Bhow it turns to C#mblood
[Outro]
I've beenC#m sitting here all mEorning
I was C#msitting here all nEight
There's aC#m bible in my left hEand
And a Bpistol in my rC#might
