In The Yard

Intro: F  C  G x2

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

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

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

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

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