           C                             G7
When I was back on the farm not so long ago

            F                               C
We couldn't get no corn, it all went to the crows

              F
Now someone's stealing my sugar; I know what I'll do

           G7
I'll put a scarecrow up in your front yard

                             C
To keep the fellas away from you
[Fiddle Solo] C G7 F C F G7 C [Verse 2]
        C                                   G7
I don't want 'em around, not for one little peck

                F                               C
The way they're hanging around is a pain in the neck

     F
It's twice as painful when they're necking with you

        G7
I put a scarecrow up in your front yard

                             C
To keep the fellas away from you
[Piano Solo] C G7 F C F G7 C [Verse 3]
                C                                  G7
They're acting, oh, so nice and they think they're slick

            F                                   C
But I don't want no crow playing 'round with my chick

         F
It don't do no good for me to holler "boo"

        G7
I put a scarecrow up in your front yard

                             C
To keep the fellas away from you
[Slide Guitar Solo] C G7 F C F G7 C [Verse 4]
        C                                   G7
If they look real close, they can probably see

            F                             C
It ain't no scarecrow there, it's really me

        F
I got a shotgun handy if they don't wanna shoo

        G7
I put a scarecrow up in your front yard

                             C
To keep the fellas away from you
