Counting Crows - Scarecrow: chords

D                         Am
Mary steers clear of the men from space
D                        Am
Back alley kid with the American face
  C
She wants the wine, he brings a case,
    G
To carry them on through

             D                         Am
I said you know what I know about the bedroom boys
      D                  Am
Undercover Russians in a pink Rolls Royce,
  C
They bang the drum, she sets the beat,
      G
They carry Miss America out into the street,
             F                   Am           D
She sings, scarecrow, snowman, John Doe, buffalo!

Chorus:
D     Am
Oh! I wish you wouldn't go,
Em                 Am
I got the arms to reach you
           C                         G
I am the scarecrow (Do Do Do Do Do) (Do Do Do Do Do)
D     Am
Oh! I guess you oughta kmow,
Em                  Am
I got the hands to teach you,
           C
I am the scarecrow (Do Do Do Do Do)
G
Snowman sideshow (Do Do Do Do Do)

I fell out of love in the snowbound days
Riding the subway in a Valium haze
I need the whites
She gets the blues
It carries us on through

All these American boys at the Park ‘n’ Shop
Selling their memories for a dollar a pop
Ivan the ancient spaceman race fan
Corners the market on American tastes
And says “Spaceman! Scarecrow! Peepshow! Freakshow!”

Chorus:
I wish you wouldn’t go
But I got the arms to reach you
I am a scarecrow
I guess you ought to know
That I got the hands to teach you
I am the scarecrow

Dm                              Am
All the sudden light inside you dies
              A#
Maybe you're going on alone
              F
Maybe you're going all alone
               C
She dreams of sunlight
Sings of smaller things
             G
White sugar bowls and wedding rings
       A#
You're going on from me alone
        F
You're going on, you're on your own

She was married alive in a Moscow surgery
Hoping to die in a cold war nursery
All of the kids back home believe
in much more than we do

It’s a memory play where the memory fades
Into pictures you took
Into records we played
Spy vs Spy
Scarecrow and I
Out across the darkness where the bomberjets fly
Singing “Spaceman! Smokeshow! Scarecrow! Geronimo!”

Chorus:
I wish you wouldn’t go
I got the arms to reach you
I am a scarecrow
I guess you ought to know
I got the hands to teach you
I am the scarecrow
Snowman Freakshow
I wish you wouldn’t go
But I got the arms to reach you
I am the scarecrow
I guess you ought to know
That I got the hands to teach you
I am the scarecrow
