Verse:
 G+G           G7G7
I used to know this old scarecrow
     C majorC        G+G
He was my song, my joy and sorrow
G+G           G7G7
Cast alone between the furrows
    C majorC           G+G
Of a field, no longer sown by anyone
G/DG/D
  I held a dandelion
            C majorC
That said the time had come
         D7D7
To leave upon the wind
     G+G
Not to return
   G7G7         C majorC
When summer burned the earth again
     G+G         C majorC
O-o-o-ooooohhhhh, o-o-o-o-oo-ooohhhhh

Verse:
G+G            G7G7
Cultivate the freshest flower
C majorC        G+G
  This garden ever grew
G+G        G7G7
  Beneath these branches
    C majorC           G+G
I once wrote such childish words for you
G/DG/D
  But that's okay
                      C majorC
There's treasure children always seek to find
        D MajorD   D7D7
And just like us
        G+G
You must have had
        C majorC
A augmentedA once upon a time
     G+G         C majorC
