[Intro]
D Am
[Verse 1]
D Am Mary steers clear of the men from space D Am Back alley kid with the American face C She wants the wine, he brings a case, G To carry them on through
[Verse 2]
D Am I said you know what I know about the bedroom boys D Am Undercover Russians in a pink Rolls Royce, C They bang the drum, she sets the beat, G They carry Miss America out into the street, F Am She sings, scarecrow, snowman, John Doe, buffalo!
[Chorus 1]
D Am Oh! I wish you wouldn't go, Em Am I got the arms to reach you C G I am the scarecrow (Do Do Do Do Do) (Do Do Do Do Do) D Am Oh! I guess you oughta kmow, Em Am I got the hands to teach you, C I am the scarecrow (Do Do Do Do Do) G Snowman sideshow (Do Do Do Do Do)
[Verse 3]
D Am I fell out of love in the snow bound days D Am Riding the subway in a valium haze C I need the whites, she gets the blues G It carries us on through
[Verse 4]
D Am All these American boys in the park n' shop D Am Selling their memories for a dollar a pop C Ivan the ancient spaceman race fan G Corners the market on American tastes F Am And says, spaceman, scarecrow, peepshow, freakshow!
[Chorus 2]
D Am Oh! I wish you wouldn't go, Em Am I got the arms to reach you C G I am the scarecrow (Do Do Do Do Do) (Do Do Do Do Do) D Am Oh! I guess you oughta kmow, Em Am I got the hands to teach you, C I am the scarecrow (Do Do Do Do Do) G Punk rock video (Do Do Do Do Do)
[Bridge]
Am G
Dm Am All the sudden light inside you dies Bb Maybe you're going on alone F Maybe you're going all alone C She dreams of sunlight
Sings of smaller things
G White sugar bowls and wedding rings Bb You're going on from me alone F You're going on, you're on your own
[Verse 5]
D Am She was married alive in a Moscow surgery, D Am Hoping to die in a cold war nursery C All of the kids back home believe G In much more than we do
[Verse 6]
D Am It's a memory play where the memory fades D Am Into pictures we took into records we played C Spy versus spy, scarecrow and I G Out across the darkness where the bomber jets fly F Am Singing spaceman, smokeshow, scarecrow, geronimo!
[Chorus 3]
D Am Oh! I wish you wouldn't go, Em Am I got the arms to reach you C G I am the scarecrow (Do Do Do Do Do) (Do Do Do Do Do) D Am Oh! I guess you oughta kmow, Em Am I got the hands to teach you, C I am the scarecrow (Do Do Do Do Do) G Snowman freakshow! (Do Do Do Do Do) D Am Oh! I wish you wouldn't go, Em Am I got the arms to reach you C G I am the scarecrow (Do Do Do Do Do) (Do Do Do Do Do) D Am Oh! I guess you oughta kmow, Em Am I got the hands to teach you, C I am the scarecrow (Do Do Do Do Do) G Listen on the midnight radio! (Do Do Do Do Do)
