The bird with feathers of blue is waiting for you

Back in your own back yard;

You'll find your castle in Spain through your win - dow - pane
Em7 A7 A7+ D
Back in your own back yard.

Oh, you can go to the east, go to the west,

Someday you'll come
E E7 Bm7-5 Gm A7
Weary at heart back where you started from.
A7+ A7 A7+ D Bm Fdim Em7 A7
You'll find your happiness lies right under your eyes
Em7 A7 A7+ D
Back in your own back yard.
