Chris Stapleton - Scarecrow In The Garden: chords

         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
On a West Virginia plow

He built a house of timber
And raised a redhead son
Then they worked the land together
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 river

Well the redhead son got older
And took a brown eyed wife
And the fields were green as dollars
Cause the dirt was black as night

I came in late September
The youngest one of three
And my sisters off and married
So the land was left to me

Chorus

    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

The fields ain't what they once were
The rains just seem to flood
And I've been thinking about that river
Wondering how it turned to blood

I've been sitting here all morning
I was sitting here all night
There's a bible in my left hand
And a pistol in my right
