By: Syd Barrett
Performed by: Pink Floyd
Album: The Piper At The Gates of Dawn (1967)
Transcribed by: John Kovach (kovajo@hotmail.com)
Hey fellow Floydians! This transcription is my own work, so please feel free
to make any suggestions, etc.!! Syd used an electric for this on the 'Piper
album, but Scarecrow is also a great acoustic song. Simple, fun, beautiful!
EADGBE tuning
D A
The black...
C Am/G
as everyone knows
A
Stood with...
D A
and straw..
D
he didn’t care...
Em Am
He stood in a field
Em A
where barley...
This pattern repeats for the next two verses.
-on fade out-
The song has a beautiful, swelling finish with a few guitars overdubbed, but
this sounds great with two acoustic guitars.
1. picks out a pattern in the A chord
2. strums A/ */A/G (*sorry, I don’t know the name of this chord, but it’s
simply the D string second fret, with the rest of the strings played open)
Enjoy!!
