Verse 1
=======
C5 F5
As I walked out one summer's morn
Am(2) E5 F5
Saw a scarecrow tied to a pole in a field of corn
C5 F5
His coat was black and his head was bare
Am(2) E5 F5
When the wind shook him the crows took up into the air
Refrain 1
=========
A5 G5 /F#5 E5
Ah, would you lay me down and love me
A5 G5 /F#5 E5 F5
Ah, would you lay me down and love me if you could
C5 F5
But you're only a bag of rags in an over-all
Am(2) E5 F5
That the wind sways and the crows fly away and the corn grows tall
Verse 2
=======
C5 F5
As I walked out on a winter's day
Am(2) E5 F5
Saw an old man hanging from a pole in a field of clay
C5 F5
His coat was gone and his head hung low
Am(2) E5 F5
Till the wind flung it up to look, wrung his neck and let it go
Refrain 2
=========
A5 G5 /F#5 E5
How could you lay me down and love me
A5 G5 /F#5 E5 F5
How could you lay me down and love me now
C5 F5
For you're only a bag of bones in an overall
Am(2) E5 F5
That the wind blows and the kids throw stones at the thing on the pole
Verse 3
=======
C5 F5
As I walked out one fine spring day
Am(2) E5 F5
Saw twelve jolly guards sticked out in the blue and the gold so gay
C5 F5
Onto a stake they tied a child new-born
Am(2) E5 F5
Then the bells were rung and the songs were sung and they sold their corn
Refrain 3
=========
A5 G5 /F#5 E5
Now you can lay me down and love me
A5 G5 /F#5 E5 F5
Now you can lay me down and love me if you will
C5 F5
But you're only a bag of rags in an over-all
Am(2) E5 F5
But the wind blew and the sun shone to and the corn grew tall
