A7

I used to know this old scarecrow

D

He was my song

A7

My joy and sorrow

Cast alone between the furrows

D A7

Of a field no longer sown by anyone

I held a dandelion

D

That said the time had come

E

To leave upon the wind

A7

Not to return

D

When summer burned the earth again

A7 D

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh....

A7 D

Cultivate the freshest flower

A7

This garden ever grew

Beneath these branches

D A7

I once wrote such childish words for you

But that's okay

D

There's treasure children always seek to find

E

And just like us

A7

You must have had

D

A once upon a time

A7 D

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh....
