 D  A7   A7+   D           Bm Fdim     Em7        A7
The bird with feathers of blue   is    waiting for you

 Em7         A7  A7+   D   Cdim  Em7      A7
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.


Dm7        F#m             F#m+7    
Oh, you can go to the east, go to the west,

 F#m7           B7
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.
