Song: Lost In The Backyard
Artist: James McMurtry
Album: Where'd You Hide The Body
Year: 1995

James McMurtry is a very underrated songwriter, and this is one of my favorite songs off 
of the "Where'd You Hide The Body" album (which I highly recommend)
You'll definatly need to listen to the song to get the timing on the lyrics correct (the 
chorus is tricky)
Have fun, this is a great song to play and sing at parties or around campfires or 
something haha

Verse 1:
                           DYou (xx0232@1)said this is the last time
            GA (320003@1)few times ago
              DOnce (xx0232@1)more its happened
                         AThats (x02220@1)all in the world I know

Pre-Chorus 1:
                  DI (xx0232@1)still hear the echo
                     GWhen (320003@1)you hung up the phone
                 DI (xx0232@1)feel like I'm lost in the backyard
A (x02220@1)                DJust (xx0232@1)tryin' to get home

Verse 2:
I woke up in a strange world
I can aptly describe
Like the streets of a town where I lived
When I was too young to drive

Pre-Chorus 2:
It all looked so familiar
But I can't find my way
I must have got lost in the backyard
When I went out to play

Chorus:
              ADon't (x02220@1)open my eyes
                DTo (xx0232@1)nothin' like truth
                   GJust (320003@1)leave it all lost in the wind
D (xx0232@1)                              ALet (x02220@1)it hide in the blindness of youth
              DFacts (xx0232@1)of the matter
                          GMost (320003@1)likely will always remain
                 DI (xx0232@1)guess I'll be lost in the backyard
A (x02220@1)               DTill (xx0232@1)I get home again

-Guitar solo- (I usually just improv)

Chorus 2:
Don't open my eyes
To nothin' like truth
Just leave it all lost in the wind
Let it hide in the blindness of youth
Facts of the matter
Most likely will always remain
I'll probably be lost in the backyard
Till I get home again
