C
Would you love me
Am
If I told you I was born upstream
F
If I told you I come from money, White money
C
Would you love me, would you love me
C
Well, I was born down
Am
By a bad little river in a poor town
F
Where an indian-giver put a board out, It said "Boarding House"
C
Call him Scarecrow, he kept whores around
C
And I'd go there
Am
I'd wait my turn on the broke stairs
F
And get me the girl with the golden hair
C
Aw yeah, leave your clothes there, on the folding chair
C
In that cold room
Am
Your breath would twist just like ghosts do
F
You said, "Call me Dorothy in red shoes"
C G
And the bed moved, The bed moved, The bed moved
F G C
Tracy, don't you wake that scarecrow tonight
C
Well, the man would come in
Am
It's hard living right giving head when
F
The sad days of winter have set in
C
And the medicine for an mannequin is heroin
C
I'd find you there in the bath
Am
We'd cook up your shit in a tin can
F
And you started calling me Tin Man
C
And we started making plans to begin again, begin again
C
You saved a C note
Am
Told me you felt like a seagull
F
Told me to meet at the depot
C
With the needle, then maybe we'd go, to Reno
C
Where you'd be my desert dove
Am
And we'd find a way to make better love
F
Said, "Baby, that's how the West was won"
G
And the blood-red sun, Yeah, the blood-red sun
And the blood-red
F G C F G
Tracy, don't you wake that scarecrow tonight

C
Well, the man cries,
Am
"Who gives a damn when a tramp dies?"
F
But I loved you there in the lamp light
C
With your bare thighs, and the halo of your hair alive
C
And all my lifelong
Am
I'll never shake off your siren song
F
And all of your talk about dying young
C G
With an iron lung and that crazy way
F G Am F
You said, "Simon, I think I might stay here with Scarecrow tonight
F G C
Simon, I think I'm gonna stay here with Scarecrow tonight."
