 G                           Bm
Twelve steps in to your backyard
         G                                   Bm
Through tall green grass, and into the world
               G        Bm
Ain't it feel right?
               G        Bm
Ain't it feel nice?
                 G (drums come in)  Bm
In your own backyard

G     Bm

         G                               Bm
Through dirty winding road, around your feet
      G                                 Bm
That carries me along and into the beat
                      G
Didn't need to go so far
                         Bm
You found what you were thirsting for
                      G
Didn't need to go so far
                       Bm
To find what you were looking for

                   C     Bm
Cuz it was always beside
              C     Bm
Just right behind
           C     Bm
Right up ahead
                 C            D
You just didn't know  it was in
              G
Your own backyard

note: the picking pattern might be a little tricky at first, but it's quite simple 
and repetitive once you get it down
