Scarecrow In The Garden Cifras

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