VERSE1:

C  x32010
Am x02210
F  x33211

          C                                Am
Would you love me if I told you I was born upstream?

                          F
If I told you I come from money, white money?

          C
Would you love me, would you love me?



VERSE2:

            C                                    Am
Well, I was born down by a bad little river in a poor town

                            F
Where an Indian-giver put a board out; it said, "Boarding House"

         C
Call him Scarecrow, he kept whores around



VERSE3:
Chords:
C  x32010
Am x02210
F  x33211


        C                                 Am
And I'd go there, I'd wait my turn on the broke stairs

                             F
And get me the girl with the golden hair

                    C
Aw yeah, leave your clothes there, on the folding chair



VERSE4:

        C                                           Am
In that cold room your breath would twist just like ghosts do

                              F
You said, "Call me Dorothy in red shoes"

                       C
And the bed moved, the bed moved, the bed moved



CHORUS:
Chords:
F  x33211
G  320033
C  x32010

F                G                     C       
Tracy, don't you wake that scarecrow tonight



VERSE5:
Chords:
C  x32010
Am x02210
F  x33211


          C
Well, the man would come in

                              Am
It's hard living right giving head when

                            F
The sad days of winter have set in

                       C
And the medicine for a mannequin is heroin



VERSE6:

             C
I'd find you there in the bath

                            Am
We'd cook up your shit in a tin can

                           F
And you started calling me Tin Man

                       C
And we made plans to begin again, begin again



VERSE7:

            C                               Am
You saved a C note, told me you felt like a seagull

                       F
Told me to meet at the depot

                            C
With the needle, then maybe we'd go, to Reno



VERSE8:
Chords:
C  x32010    F  x33211
Am x02210    G  320033

                  C
Where you'd be my desert dove

                            Am
And we'd find a way to make better love

                            F
Said, "Baby, that's how the West was won"

                                 C
And the blood-red sun, yeah, the blood-red sun

              G
And the blood-red...



CHORUS2:
F                G                     C   | F | G |
Tracy, don't you wake that scarecrow tonight


[play Guitar Figure 1]



VERSE9:

          C                                   Am
Well, the man cries, "Who gives a damn when a tramp dies?"

                             F
But I loved you there in the lamplight

                               C
With your bare thighs, and the halo of your hair alive



VERSE10:
Chords:
C  x32010    F  x33211
Am x02210    G  320033

           C                                  Am
And all my lifelong I'll never shake off your siren song

                           F
And all of your talk about dying young

                           C     G
With an iron-lung and that crazy way



OUTRO:

           F                      G                          Am   | F |
You said, "Simon, I think I might stay here with Scarecrow tonight

F                        G                          C
Simon, I think I'm gonna stay here with Scarecrow tonight."
