In The Yard

Intro: F  C  G x2

Verse:
               F                   
   Last night I dreamed we'd found 
 C            G
a stand of trees
             F          Am       
   framing a pond and a field in 
G
between
             Dm            Am     
   And with a hammer and a blade 
            G
and our four hands
                  F      E
   here's what we made

              F           C       
   The logs we peeled and stacked 
    G
in a ring
               F                   
   and then we crowned it, our tiny
Am             G
 house, with tin
             Dm             
   And by the fire, flickering 
Am               G            F
bronze and gold across your face
              E      G
   I heard you say

Continues after the ad
Chorus:
              C            F      
   It may not be a grand parade of
                       G
 snow capped peaks, oooh
          C        F              
   no river silver-backed crashing
             G
 through, oooh
                   C           
   but we have our black-haired 
 F             Em
babes running free
               Dm       G
   through the woods, oooo

Verse:
   F                         C    
   Squirrels in the rafters, wrens
        G
 in the eaves
       F                           
   red dirt neath our nails, orange
 Am               G
 stains on our knees
   Dm              Am            
   blackberries in June down the 
G             F          E     G
path without our shoes

Chorus:
              C            F      
   It may not be a grand parade of
                       G
 snow capped peaks, oooh
          C        F              
   no river silver-backed crashing
             G
 through, oooh
                   C           
   but we have our black-haired 
 F             Em
babes running free

   through the woods, oooo
