  			D               A             C        A   G  
The black and green scarecrow, as ev'ryone knows,  
             A                   D          A  
Stood with a bird on his hat and straw ev'rywhere  
   D  
He didn't care  
   G          Am          G      A  
He stood in a field where barley grows  
       
    D           A             C           A  G  
His head did no thinking, his arms didn't move,  
                A                     D         A            D  
Except when the wind cut up rough and mice ran around on the ground  
   G          Am          G      A  
He stood in a field where barley grows  
       
    D               A            C           A  G  
The black and green scarecrow is sadder than me__  
               A                            D            A  
But now he's resigned to his fate's, 'cause life's not unkind  
   D  
He doesn't mind  
   G          Am          G      A  
He stood in a field where barley grows
