Scarecrow In The Garden chords by Chris Stapleton

Intro:
C#m E C#m E C#m E B C#m

Verse:
        C#m                   E
Well he came from Northern Ireland
       C#m                    E
Searching for the free man's ground
        C#m                 E
And he came to bet his fortune
     B               C#m B C#m
On a West Virginia plow
      C#m               E
He built a house of timber
      C#m             E
And raised a redhead son
            C#m                 E
Then they worked the land together
      B                    C#m
And prayed the rain would come

Chorus:
            A                E
There's a scarecrow in the garden
       B             C#m
That looks like Lucifer
              A               C#m
And I've been reading Revelations
         B                C#m
With my bare feet in the dirt

Instrumental:
E C#m E C#m E B C#m

Verse:
            C#m              E
Well the redhead's son got older
      C#m               E
And took a brown eyed wife
          C#m                   E
And the fields were green as dollars
            B                 C#m
Cause the dirt was black as night
  C#m               E
I came in late September

      C#m             E
The youngest one of three
        C#m               E
And my sisters off and married
         B           C#m
So the land was left to me

Chorus:
            A                E
There's a scarecrow in the garden
       B            C#m
That looks like Lucifer
             A                C#m
And I've been reading Revelations
         B                C#m
With my bare feet in the dirt

Bridge:
         B
I know every single fencepost
       A                C#m
Every rock that goes around
            B
I've been staring at the red oak
         A                   C#m
Where I know they'll lay me down

Verse:
    C#m                     E
The fields ain't what they once were
     C#m                E
The rains just seem to flood
                C#m                  E
 And I've been thinking about that river
          B               C#m
Wondering how it turns to blood

Outro:
         C#m                E
I've been sitting here all morning
      C#m               E
I was sitting here all night
         C#m                E
There's a bible in my left hand
      B             C#m
