[Intro]
C Am
[Primeira Parte]
Am C
Well he came from Northern Ireland
Am C
Searching for the free man's ground
Am C
And he came to bet his fortune
G Am
On a West Virginia plow
[Ponte]
Am
[Segunda Parte]
Am C
He built a house of timber
Am C
And raised a redhead son
Am C
Then they worked the land together
G Am
And prayed the rain would come
[Refrão]
F C
There's a scarecrow in the garden
G Am
That looks like Lucifer
F Am
And I've been reading Revelations
G Am
With my bare feet in the river
[Ponte]
C Am
[Terceira Parte]
Am C
Well the redhead's son got older
Am C
And took a brown eyed wife
Am C
And the fields were green as dollars
G Am
Cause the dirt was black as night
[Ponte]
Am
[Quarta Parte]
Am C
I came in late September
Am C
The youngest one of three
Am C
And my sisters off and married
G Am
So the land was left to me
[Refrão]
[Quinta Parte]
G
I know every single fencepost
F Am
Every rock that goes around
G
I've been staring at the red oak
F Am
Where I know they'll lay me down
[Sexta Parte]
Am C
The fields ain't what they once were
Am C
The rains just seem to flood
Am C
And I've been thinking about that river
G Am
Wondering how it turned to blood
Am C
I've been sitting here all morning
Am C
I was sitting here all night
Am C
There's a bible in my left hand
G Am
And a pistol in my right
