Our Backyard

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 an outback sky
A
  Nothing like taking in the harbour
G                            Em
  On the Manly ferry ride
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 parts
             Em         D
  Are right here in our own backyard


[INSTRUMENTAL]

D     G


[VERSE 2]

D                                        G
  I've really put a dent 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 Byron 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
  Hear the beat of Australia's heart
A                                                G
  I've seen enough of the world to know that the very best parts
             Em         D
  Are right here in our own backyard


[BRIDGE]

A
  You don't even need a passport
G
  You don't even have to fly
A                                           G   G
  We don't have to travel the world to find paradise


[FINAL CHORUS]

D
  Cause there's nothing like a Silverton sunset
Em
  Setting fire to an outback sky
A/F#
  Nothing like taking in the harbour
G
  From the Manly ferry ride...
D
  There's nothing like a Byron sunrise
G
  First light on the Southern land
A
  Nothing like that sky blue water
G                             Em
  Crashing on the cloud white sand
D
  ...Standing in Uluru's shadow
G
  You hear the beat of Australia's heart
A                                                G
  I've seen enough of the world to know that the very best parts
             Em         D                     G
  Are right here in our own backyard
                Em          D                    G
  They're right here in our own backyard                     Whoo!
