      D               A           C          A  G
The black and green scarecrow, as ev'ryone knows,
              A
Stood with a bird on his hat and
   D         A        D
straw ev'rywhere. He didn't care.
     G         Am          G       A
He stood in a field where barley grows.

His head did no thinking, his arms didn't move,
Except when the wind cut up rough and
mice ran around on the ground.
He stood in a field where barley grows.

The black and green scarecrow is sadder than me.
But now he's resigned to his fate,
'cause life's not unkind. He doesn't mind.
He stood in a field where barley grows.
