Snow on wood crust, blackbird [F#] in the barn
Four hundred acres, used to be my farm
Grouped like my daddy did, my grandpa played the slant
When I was five I walked the [F#m] bench, grandpa held my hand
[D] Rain on the scarecrow, [E] blood on the plow
[D] I'm slanted knees, [E] this land made me so proud
Son, I'm sorry [D] this memory's on you [F#] now
Rain on the scarecrow, blood [A] on the plow
[F#] Rain [A] on the [F#] scarecrow, blood [A] on the [F#m] plow

Crops grew last summer, weren't enough to pay the loan
Goodbye the seeds you plant in spring, buy me back the clothes
[F#m] Come on, friendship and a touch and all for the land
[F#] And Johnny says, my dad, hope you understand
Call me your job, I'm a horse, you don't make a ride
[F#m] You want me to, I say pray, before you show up to die
[D] Grandma's on the farm, four [E] swings of ivory in her hand
[D] Some nights I hear you sing, you take [E] me to the farm to slam
Take away a man's dignity, [D] that work excuse to guide [F#m] me
Blood on the scarecrow, blood [A] on the plow
