Here are the chords to 'Our Backyard' by Amber Lawrence and Travis Collins!
I really like this song! I especially like the content and the imagery
within the song's lyrics which make me feel very patriotic (being an Australian, myself!)
The chords are really simple so this song is perfect if you're a beginner! Also,
I'm not sure whether these lyrics are 100% correct because I couldn't find any lyrics
online so I had to listen to the song myself and type up what I could hear to the best of my ability.
But anyway, have fun playing :)
NO CAPO
[INTRO]
D
[VERSE 1]
D G
I've stood on the steps of the Colosseum
A
I've boggled at the Northern Lights
G
Watched the flicker of the Eiffel Tower
On a hot French summer night
D G
Walked the cobblestone streets of London
A
Rolled a seven on Vegas street
G
Been on Broadway, New York City
I loved every minute of it...
[CHORUS]
D
But there's nothing like a Silverton sunset
G
Setting fire to the outback sky
A
Nothing like taking in the harbour
G Em
All those Manly ferry rides
D
Driving out on the Western Highway
G
Sleeping under the Territory stars
A G
I've seen enough of the world to know that the very best part
Em D
Is right here in our own backyard
[INSTRUMENTAL]
D G
[VERSE 2]
D G
I've really put a tear in the bucket list of all the places I wanted to go
A
Sipped a few Steins at Oktoberfest
G Em
Even shot tequila in Mexico
D
I stood in wonder on the Great Wall of China
G
Posed like a Beatle on Abbey Road
A
I lit a candle at the Taj Mahal
G
And wrote a song on Music Row
A G
But no matter where I go...
[CHORUS]
D
There's nothing like a barren sunrise
G
First light on the Southern land
A
Nothing like that sky blue water
G Em
Crashing on cloud white sand
D
...Standing in Uluru's shadow
G
In the beat of Australia's heart
A G
I've seen enough of the world to know that the very best part
Em D
Is right here in our own backyard
[BRIDGE]
A
You don't even need a passport
G
We don't even have to fly
A G G
We don't have to travel the world to find paradise
[FINAL CHORUS]
D
But there's nothing like a Silverton sunset
Em
Setting fire to the outback sky
A/F#
Nothing like taking in the harbour
G
From the Manly ferry ride...
D
There's nothing like a barren sunrise
G
First light on the Southern land
A
Nothing like that sky blue water
G Em
Crashing on cloud white sand
D
...Standing in Uluru's shadow
G
In the beat of Australia's heart
A G
I've seen enough of the world to know that the very best part
Em D G
Is right here in our own backyard
Em D G
Right here in our own backyard Whoo!
