[Verse 1]
F#m              A       E     
  Scarecrow on a wooden cross, 
F#m              A  E
blackbird in the barn
F#m                  A E      
Four hundred empty acres that 
F#m           A  E
used to be my farm
  F#m             A     E       
I grew up like my daddy did, my 
F#m                  A  E
grandpa cleared this land
     F#m          A          E   
When I was five I walked the 
        F#m              A  E
fence while grandpa held my hand

[Chorus]
D                      E
  Rain on the scarecrow, blood on 
the plow
     D                       E
This land fed a nation, this land 
made me proud
    E                            
And Son I'm just sorry there's no 
  D
legacy for you now
F#m            A   E   F#m     
  Rain on the scarecrow, blood 
       A  E
on the plow
F#m            A   E   F#m     
  Rain on the scarecrow, blood 
       A  E
on the plow

[Verse 2]
    F#m                 A    
The crops we grew last summer 
E          F#m              A  E
weren't enough to pay the loans
          F#m             A       
Couldn't buy the seed to plant 
   E             F#m           
this spring and the Farmers Bank 
     A  E
foreclosed
F#m                   A       E 
Called my old friend Schepman up
    F#m              A  E
 to auction off the land

        F#m                 A E  
He said John, it's just my job  
     F#m              A  E
and I hope you understand
    F#m              A       E   
Hey calling it your job ol' hoss 
F#m                 A  E
sure don't make it right
           F#m              A  
But if you want me to I'll say a 
     E   F#m               A  E
prayer for your soul tonight

[Chorus 2]
     D                          
And grandma's on the front porch 
               E
swing with a Bible in her hand
     D                             
Sometimes I hear her singing "Take 
   E
me to the Promised Land"
          E                        
When you take away a man's dignity 
          D
he can't work his fields and cows, 
but
F#m            A   E   F#m     
  Blood on the scarecrow, blood
        A  E
 on the plow
F#m            A   E   F#m     
  Blood on the scarecrow, blood
        A  E
 on the plow

[Verse 3]
             F#m                 A 
Well there's ninety-seven crosses  
E         F#m                 A  E
  planted in the courthouse yard
F#m                 A E          
Ninety-seven families   who lost 
F#m                 A  E
ninety-seven farms
  F#m             A    E

         F#m                 A E

 like that scarecrow in the rain

  Rain on the scarecrow,  blood on 
the plow

This land fed a nation yeah this
