[Verse 1]
Well he c[Am]ame from Northern I[C]reland
Searching [Am]for the free man's [C]ground
An[Am]d he came to bet hi[C]s fortune
On a W[G]est Virginia pl[Am]ow

[Verse 2]
He [Am]built a house of [C]timber
And r[Am]aised a redhead [C]son
Then they w[Am]orked the land [C]together
And [G]prayed the rain would [Am]come
[Cborus]
There's a s[F]carecrow in the [C]garden
That [G]looks like [Am]Lucifer
And I've been [F]reading Revelat[C]ions
With my [G]bare feet in the [Am]river
[Bridge 2]

[Verse 3]
Well the [Am]redhead's son got [C]older
And [Am]took a brown eyed [C]wife
And the f[Am]ields were green as [C]dollars
Cause the [G]dirt was black as [Am]night

[Verse 4]
I [Am]came in late [C]September
The [Am]youngest one of [C]three
And my [Am]sisters off and [C]married
So the [G]land was left to [Am]me
[Cborus]
There's a s[F]carecrow in the [C]garden
That [G]looks like [Am]Lucifer
And I've been [F]reading Revelat[C]ions
With my [G]bare feet in the [Am]river
[Verse 5]
I [G]know every single fencepost
Every [F]rock that goes [Am]around
I've been [G]staring at the red oak
Where I [F]know they'll lay me [Am]down
[Verse 6]
The [Am]fields ain't what they once [C]were
The [Am]rains just seem to [C]flood
And I've been [Am]thinking about that [C]river
Wondering [G]how it turned to [Am]blood
[Outro]
*single strum each note*
I've been [Am]sitting here all [C]morning
I was [Am]sitting here all [C]night
There's a [Am]bible in my left [C]hand
And a [G]pistol in my [Am]right
