He builtAm a house of timber
And raiseCd a redhead son
Then they Gworked the land together
And prayed Amthe rain would come
[Chorus]
There'sAm a scarecrow iCn the garden
That lFooks likGe Lucifer
And AmI've been reaFding Revelations
With myG bare feetAm in the dirt
[Verse 2]
Well the redAmhead's son got older
And took a bCrown eyed wife
And the fieldAms were green as dollars
Cause the dirtC was black as night
I came in late AmSeptember
The youngest onCe of three
And my sisters oGff and married
Am - build up the A minor before this chorus ↓↑↓↑↓↑
So the land was left to me
[Chorus]
There's Ca scarecrow in the garden
That looks Flike Lucifer
And I've beeGn reading Revelations
With my bare feetAm in the dirt
[Bridge]
I know everGy single fencepost
Every rock tFhat goes around
I've been staAmring at the red oak
Where I Gknow they'Fll lay me down
[Verse 3]- 1 strum each chord from here until the end
The fieldsAm ain't what they once were
The rains juCst seem to flood
And I've beenAm thinking about that river
Wondering how Cit turned to blood
[Outro]
I've been sitAmting here all morning
I was sitting Chere all night
There's a bibleG in my left hand
And a pistol in Ammy right
