Tom: G

  G                     G7
I used to know this old scarecrow
          C                G
He was my song, my joy and sorrow
G                      G7
Cast alone between the furrows
       C                      G
Of a field, no longer sown by anyone
G/D
   I held a dandelion
                       C
That said the time had come
                  D7
To leave upon the wind
         G
Not to return
     G7                  C
When summer burned the earth again
          G                 C
O-o-o-ooooohhhhh, o-o-o-o-oo-ooohhhhh

[Verse]
G                        G7
Cultivate the freshest flower
C               G
   This garden ever grew
G                G7
   Beneath these branches
       C                     G
I once wrote such childish words for you
G/D
   But that's okay
                                           C
There's treasure children always seek to find
               D      D7
And just like us
               G
You must have had
                C
A once upon a time
          G                 C
O-o-o-ooooohhhhh, o-o-o-o-oo-ooohhhhh
          G                 C
O-o-o-ooooohhhhh, o-o-o-o-oo-ooohhhhh
