[Verse 1]
   Am
Well he came from Northern Ireland
     C
Searching for the free man's ground
      Am
And he came to bet his fortune
       C
On a West Virginia plow
                    G

        Am
He built a house of timber
         C
And raised a redhead son
          G
Then they worked the land together
           Am
And prayed the rain would come
 
 
[Chorus]
       Am            C
There's a scarecrow in the garden
      F       G
That looks like Lucifer
    Am           F
And I've been reading Revelations
       G         Am
With my bare feet in the dirt
 
 
[Verse 2]
            Am
Well the redhead's son got older
            C
And took a brown eyed wife
             Am
And the fields were green as dollars
              C
Cause the dirt was black as night
               Am
I came in late September
               C
The youngest one of three
                G
And my sisters off and married
     Am - build up the A minor before this chorus ↓↑↓↑↓↑
So the land was left to me
 
 
[Chorus]
        C
There's a scarecrow in the garden
           F
That looks like Lucifer
            G
And I've been reading Revelations
                 Am
With my bare feet in the dirt
 
 
[Bridge]
           G
I know every single fencepost
            F
Every rock that goes around
             Am
I've been staring at the red oak
        G         F
Where I know they'll lay me down
 
 
[Verse 3]- 1 strum each chord from here until the end
          Am
The fields ain't what they once were
            C
The rains just seem to flood
             Am
And I've been thinking about that river
              C
Wondering how it turned to blood
 
 
[Outro]
             Am
I've been sitting here all morning
              C
I was sitting here all night
               G
There's a bible in my left hand
                Am
And a pistol in my right
