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!
EADGBE tuning

He stood in a field

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 chord
2. strums A/ */A/G  (*sorry, I don’t know the name of this chord, but it’s
simply the D string second fret, with the rest of the strings played open)

Enjoy!!
