[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]
G         C     G
Oooooohhh oohh  oohh
G         C    G
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

[Outro]
