Verse:
 G           G7
I used to know this old scarecrow
     C        G
He was my song, my joy and sorrow
G           G7
Cast alone between the furrows
    C           G
Of a field, no longer sown by anyone
G/D
  I held a dandelion
            C
That said the time had come
         D7
To leave upon the wind
     G
Not to return
   G7         C
When summer burned the earth again
     G         C
O-o-o-ooooohhhhh, o-o-o-o-oo-ooohhhhh

Verse:
G            G7
Cultivate the freshest flower
C        G
  This garden ever grew
G        G7
  Beneath these branches
    C           G
I once wrote such childish words for you
G/D
  But that's okay
                      C
There's treasure children always seek to find
        D   D7
And just like us
        G
You must have had
        C
A once upon a time
     G         C
O-o-o-ooooohhhhh, o-o-o-o-oo-ooohhhhh
     G         C
O-o-o-ooooohhhhh, o-o-o-o-oo-ooohhhhh
