Scarecrow In The Garden Guitar Chords Chris Stapleton

[Intro]
Bm D Bm D Bm D A Bm

[Verse]
Bm D
Well he came from Northern Ireland
Bm D
Searching for the free man’s ground
Bm D
And he came to bet his fortune
A Bm A Bm
On a West Virginia plow
Bm D
He built a house of timber
Bm D
And raised a redhead son
Bm D
Then they worked the land together
A Bm
And prayed the rain would come

[Chorus]
G D
There’s a scarecrow in the garden
A Bm
That looks like Lucifer
G Bm
And I’ve been reading Revelations
A Bm
With my bare feet in the dirt

[Instrumental]
D Bm D Bm D A Bm

[Verse]
Bm D
Well the redhead’s son got older
Bm D
And took a brown eyed wife
Bm D
And the fields were green as dollars
A Bm
Cause the dirt was black as night
Bm D
I came in late September

Bm D
The youngest one of three
Bm D
And my sisters off and married
A Bm
So the land was left to me

[Chorus]
G D
There’s a scarecrow in the garden
A Bm
That looks like Lucifer
G Bm
And I’ve been reading Revelations
A Bm
With my bare feet in the dirt

[Bridge]
A
I know every single fencepost
G Bm
Every rock that goes around
A
I’ve been staring at the red oak
G Bm
Where I know they’ll lay me down

[Verse]
Bm D
The fields ain’t what they once were
Bm D
The rains just seem to flood
Bm D
And I’ve been thinking about that river
A Bm
Wondering how it turns to blood

[Outro]
Bm D
I’ve been sitting here all morning
Bm D
I was sitting here all night
Bm D
There’s a bible in my left hand
A Bm
And a pistol in my right
