[Verse 1]
F#m               A        E
Scarecrow on a wooden cross
F#m                  A
Blackbird in the barn
E F#m                  A  E     F#m           A   E
  Four hundred empty acres That used to be my farm
F#m             A        E
Grew up like my daddy did
   F#m                  A   E
My grandpa cleared this land
     F#m           A               E
When I  was five I walked the fence
      F#m             A   E
while Grandpa held my hand

[Pre-Chorus]
Dsus2
     Rain on the scarecrow
Esus4
     Blood on the plow
     Dsus2
This land fed a nation
     Esus4
This land made me proud
And son, I`m just sorry
           Dsus2
There`s no legacy for you now

[Chorus]
F#m            A    E
   Rain on the scarecrow
F#m             A   E
   Blood on the plow
F#m            A    E
   Rain on the scarecrow
F#m             A   E
   Blood on the plow

[Verse 2]
F#m                    A     E
The crops we grew last summer
         F#m                   A
Weren`t enough to pay the loans
E         F#m                  A     E
 Couldn`t buy the seed to plant this spring
        F#m               A     E
And the Farmers' Bank foreclosed
F#m                  A          E
Called my old friend Schepman Up
   F#m                 A E
to auction off the land   He said:
F#m                 A  E
"John, it`s just my job
      F#m           A      E
And I hope you understand."
     F#m             A        E
Hey, calling it your job, ole hoss
F#m                     A
Sure don`t make it right
E           F#m             A           E
 But if you want me to I`ll say a prayer
F#m                  A
for your soul tonight
E    Dsus2
 And grandma`s on the front porch swing

[Pre-Chorus]
       Esus4
With a Bible in her hand
    Dsus2
Sometimes I hear her singing
        Esus4
Take me to   the Promised Land
When you take away a man`s dignity
         Dsus2
He can`t work his fields and cows
There`ll be

[Chorus]
F#m             A    E
   Blood on the scarecrow
F#m             A   E
   Blood on the plow
F#m             A    E
   Blood on the scarecrow
F#m             A   E F#m
   Blood on the plow

F#m
        F#m    A  E
There`s 97 crosses
        F#m                   A E
Planted in the courthouse yard
F#m             A   E
Ninetyseven families who
     F#m              A
Lost ninetyseven farms
E  F#m                 A E
 I think about my grandpa
   F#m                  A E
My neighbors and my name
         F#m                     A
And some nights I feel like dying
