[C]Would you love me
If I told you I was born u[Am]pstream
If I told you I come from m[F]oney, White money
Would you l[C]ove me, would you love me
[C]Well, I was born down
By a bad little river in a poor [Am]town
Where an indian-giver put a[F] board out, It said "Boarding House"
Call him S[C]carecrow, he kept whores around
[C]And I'd go there
I'd wait my turn on the b[Am]roke stairs
And get me the girl with the [F]golden hair
Aw yeah, leave y[C]our clothes there, on the folding chair
[C]In that cold room
Your breath would twist just like gh[Am]osts do
You said, "Call me Dorothy in red[F] shoes"
And the bed m[C]oved, The bed moved, The bed m[G]oved
Tra[F]cy, don't you w[G]ake that scarecrow to[C]night
[C]Well, the man would come in
It's hard living right giving h[Am]ead when
The sad days of winter have se[F]t in
And the medicine for an ma[C]nnequin is heroin
[C]I'd find you there in the bath
We'd cook up your sh*t in a [Am]tin can
And you started calling me Ti[F]n Man
And we started making plans to be[C]gin again, begin again
[C]You saved a C note
Told me you felt like a s[Am]eagull
Told me to meet at the [F]depot
With the needle, then maybe we'd[C] go, to Reno
[C]Where you'd be my desert dove
And we'd find a way to make bet[Am]ter love
Said, "Baby, that's how the [F]West was won"
And the blood-red sun, Ye[G]ah, the blood-red sun
And the blood-red
Tra[F]cy, don't you w[G]ake that scarecrow to[C]night[F] [G]

[Em]F [Esus4]Cma7(om[Em]it5)[Em7] Gsu[Em]s [C]G
[C]Well, the man cries,
"Who gives a damn when a tram[Am]p dies?"
But I loved you there in the l[F]amp light
With your bare t[C]highs, and the halo of your hair alive
[C]And all my lifelong
I'll never shake off your s[Am]iren song
And all of your talk about d[F]ying young
[C]With an iron lung and that [G]crazy way
You said, "[F]Simon, I think I might sta[G]y here with Scarecrow ton[Am]ight[F]
[F]Simon, I think I'm gonna stay [G]here with Scarecrow ton[C]ight."
