[G] [F#m] [Bm]
[D] Would you love me [F#m] if I told you I was [B] born upstream?
[Bm] [E] If I told [A] you I come [G] from money, white money.
Would [F#m] you [D] love me?
[A]
Well, I [D] was born down by a bad little [A]
river [B] in a poor [Bm] town
[E] where an Indian giver [G] needed bored [Bm] out.
They said, [G] boarding [Em] house, they called [D] him Scarecrow.
He kept boys [A] around and [D] I'd go there.
[F#m] I'd wait my turn [Bm] on the broke stairs [E] and get me [Bm] the girl [G] with the gold.
[Bm] Yeah, oh yeah.
[G]
Leave [D] your clothes there on the folding chair in that cold room.

You said, call me Dorothy [Em] in red shoes and the [G]
bedding, yeah, [A] the bedding.
[Em] Oh, Tracy, [A] don't you wake that [D] Scarecrow tonight.
[A]
[D] Well, the man would come in, it's hard [A] living right,
[B] [Bm] given him the [E] sad days of winter, [G] I [Bm] said.
And the medicine [G] [D] for a man is heroin.
[A] I find you [D] there in the bath.
[F#m] We cook up your shit [B] in a tin [Bm]
can.
[F#m] And you started calling [G] me Tin [Bm] Man.
And we made plans to [D] begin.
Begin [A] again, but you [D] saved the scene.
Oh, [F#m] told me you [A] felt [Bm] like a seagull.
[Em] Told me [Bm] to meet [G] at the depot with a needle.
So, [D] baby, we'd go to Reno when you'd be my desert dove.
And we'd find a [F#m] way to [Bm] make better love.
[C#] I said, [Bm] baby, that's how [G] the West [Em] goes wrong.
In the blood red sun, yeah, [A] the blood red sun.

[F#m] [D]
[A] [G] [C#] [G]
[D] Well, the man cries, [F#m] who [A] gives a damn [Bm] when a tramp dies?
[E] But I loved you [G] there in the [Bm] land, love,
with your bare thighs [D] and the haze of your hairline.
[A] And [D] all my life long, I'll [A] never shake [Bm] off your siren song.
And all of your talk [Em] about dying young
with an iron lung [G] in that crazy [A] way.
[Em] Siren, I think [A] I might stay here with [Bm] Scarecrow tonight.
[G]
[Em] Siren, I think I'm [A] gonna stay here with Scarecrow [E] tonight.
