I came in late September

The youngest one of three

And my sisters off and married
G Am
So the land was left to me
[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
[Verso 5]
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
[Verso 6]
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
