Hey fellow Floydians! This transcription is my own work, so please feel free
to make any suggestions, etc.!! Syd used an electric for this on the 'Piper
album, but Scarecrow is also a great acoustic song. Simple, fun, beautiful!

This pattern repeats for the next two verses.

-on fade out-
The song has a beautiful, swelling finish with a few guitars overdubbed, but
this sounds great with two acoustic guitars.
1. picks out a pattern in the A augmentedA chord
2. strums A/ */A/G (*sorry, I don’t know the name of this chord, but it’s
simply the D MajorD string second fret, with the rest of the strings played open)

Enjoy!!
