          Am                 C
Well, he came from Northern Ireland

          Am                 C
Searching for the free man's ground

  Am                 C
And he came to bet his fortune

      G              Am
On a West Virginia plow

   Am               C
He built a house of timber

     Am              C
And raised a redhead son

           Am             C
Then they worked the land together

    G                     Am
And prayed the rain would come

           F               C
There's a scarecrow in the garden

     G          Am
That looks like Lucifer

              F              Am
And I've been reading Revelations

        G                Am
With my bare feet in the dirt

          Am              C
Well, the redhead son got older

    Am                C
And took a brown eyed wife

         Am                  C
And the fields were green as dollars

           G                 Am
'Cause the dirt was black as night

  Am           C
I came in late September

    Am              C
The youngest one of three

       Am              C
And my sisters off and married

       G                Am
So the land was left to me

           F               C
There's a scarecrow in the garden

     G          Am
That looks like Lucifer

              F              Am
And I've been reading Revelations

        G                Am
With my bare feet in the dirt

  G
I know every single fencepost

      F              Am
Every rock that goes around

          G
I've been staring at the red oak

        F                   Am
Where I know they'll lay me down

    Am                          C
The fields ain't what they once were

    Am                 C
The rains just seem to flood

              Am                  C
And I've been thinking about that river

          G                Am
Wondering how it turned to blood

          Am               C
I've been sitting here all morning

      Am               C
I was sitting here all night

          Am               C
There's a bible in my left hand

      G            Am
And a pistol in my right
