[Verse]
G C G
There's a scarecrow standing in a farmer's field
C G D
What he's guarding has not been revealed
C Bm Am
'Cause you can't find something that's been found before
G C G
And I won't find nothin' if I close that door
[Chorus]
C G
If I were a bird
C D Em C
If I were a foolish bird
Am C
I'd listen to my fear
Am D
And fly away from here
C G
But if I were a bird
C D Em C
If I were a wise bird
Am D
I'd listen to my heart
Am D
And find the treasure waiting in a field G C D
G C G
waiting in a field
G C G
is waiting in a field
G C G
oooooohhh ooh ohhh
[Verse]
G C G
There's a scarecrow living in my memory
C G D
It just hangs around and stares at me
C Bm Am
With eyes that look but cannot see
G C G
There's a scarecrow living in my memory
[Chorus]
C G
If I were a bird
C D Em C
If I were a foolish bird
Am C
I'd listen to my fear
Am D
And fly away from here
C G
But if I were a bird
C D Em C
If I were a wise bird
Am D
I'd listen to my heart
Am D G C D
And find the treasure waiting in a field
G C G
waiting in a field
G C G
is waiting in a field
G C G F# Em
oooooohhh ooh ohhh
[Bridge]
D G F# Em
Cuz everybody leaves the garden
D C Em
And everybody needs a home
C G Am
Everybody's scared of dying
G D
But no one wants to roll away the stone
D C
Go on and roll away the stone
[Instrumental]

Oooooohhh oohh oohh go on and roll away the
G C G
Stone oooh oooh
G C G
Ooooooohhh go on and roll away the stone
[Verse]
G C G
There's a scarecrow wherever a church bell rings
C G D
Terrified by the gift she brings
C G Am
We can't change nothing without suffering
G C G
Even scarecrows need to hear the songs we sing
[Chorus]
C G
If I were a bird
C D Em C
If I were a foolish bird
Am C
I'd listen to my fear
Am D
And fly away from here
C G
But if I were a bird
C D Em C
If I were a wise bird
Am D
I'd listen to my heart
Am D G C D
And find the treasure waiting in a field
G C G
waiting in a field
G C G
is waiting in a field
G C G F# Em
oooooohhh ooh ohhh
