Scarecrow - Counting Crows
[Intro]
D Am
[Verse 1]
DMary steers clear of the Ammen from space
DBack alley kid with the AmAmerican face
CShe wants the wine, he brings a case,
GTo carry them on through
[Verse 2]
I said you Dknow what I know about the Ambedroom boys
UndercDover Russians in a Ampink Rolls Royce,
CThey bang the drum, she sets the beat,
GThey carry Miss America out into the street,
She sings, Fscarecrow, snowman, AmJohn Doe, buffalo!
[Chorus 1]
DOh! I Amwish you wouldn't go,
EmI got the arms to Amreach you
I am the Cscarecrow (Do Do Do Do Do) (GDo Do Do Do Do)
DOh! I Amguess you oughta kmow,
EmI got the hands to Amteach you,
I am the Cscarecrow (Do Do Do Do Do)
GSnowman sideshow (Do Do Do Do Do)
[Verse 3]
DI fell out of love in the sAmnow bound days
DRiding the subway in a Amvalium haze
CI need the whites, she gets the blues
GIt carries us on through
[Verse 4]
DAll these American boys in the Ampark n' shop
DSelling their memories for a Amdollar a pop
CIvan the ancient spaceman race fan
GCorners the market on American tastes
And says, Fspaceman, scarecrow, Ampeepshow, freakshow!
[Chorus 2]
DOh! I Amwish you wouldn't go,
EmI got the arms to Amreach you
I am the Cscarecrow (Do Do Do Do Do) (GDo Do Do Do Do)
DOh! I Amguess you oughta kmow,
EmI got the hands to Amteach you,
I am the Cscarecrow (Do Do Do Do Do)
GPunk rock video (Do Do Do Do Do)
[Bridge]
Am G
DmAll the sudden light inside you Amdies
Maybe you're gBboing on alone
Maybe you're gFoing all alone
She dreams of sCunlight
Sings of smaller things
White sugar bGowls and wedding rings
You're Bbgoing on from me alone
You're Fgoing on, you're on your own
[Verse 5]
DShe was married alive in a AmMoscow surgery,
DHoping to die in a cAmold war nursery
CAll of the kids back home believe
GIn much more than we do
[Verse 6]
DIt's a memory play where the Ammemory fades
DInto pictures we took into Amrecords we played
CSpy versus spy, scarecrow and I
GOut across the darkness where the bomber jets fly
Singing Fspaceman, smokeshow, Amscarecrow, geronimo!
[Chorus 3]
DOh! I Amwish you wouldn't go,
EmI got the arms to Amreach you
I am the Cscarecrow (Do Do Do Do Do) (GDo Do Do Do Do)
DOh! I Amguess you oughta kmow,
EmI got the hands to Amteach you,
I am the Cscarecrow (Do Do Do Do Do)
GSnowman freakshow! (Do Do Do Do Do)
DOh! I Amwish you wouldn't go,
EmI got the arms to Amreach you
I am the Cscarecrow (Do Do Do Do Do) (GDo Do Do Do Do)
DOh! I Amguess you oughta kmow,
EmI got the hands to Amteach you,
I am the Cscarecrow (Do Do Do Do Do)
GListen on the midnight radio! (Do Do Do Do Do)
[Solo]
D   Am- repeat to end
