Lirik & Kunci Gitar Scarecrow in the Garden
[Intro]
Am C G Am
Am C G Am
[Verse 1]
Am C
The fields are dry and brown and the sumac's turning red
G Am
The river's just a trickle through the mud
Am C
And Daddy's in the parlor with his Bible by the bed
G Am
Praying for the coming of the flood
[Verse 2]
Am C
He was born right here in nineteen-forty-one
G Am
His daddy bought this farm with wartime pay
Am C
And everything they built with sweat and blood
G Am
It feels like it's just slipping away
[Chorus]
C G
There's a scarecrow in the garden and a Bible in the bed
F C G
And a pistol in the pocket of his jeans
C G
And the rain ain't gonna come until the crops are all dead
F Am
And it's drying up a poor man's hopes and dreams
[Verse 3]
Am C
The bank man come around in his shiny black coat
G Am
Talking numbers that we cannot comprehend
