Verse 1
I (A minor) know (F major) (C major) (F major) (C major) (D major)
(G major) (C major) you've heard (G major) a lot of stories,
(F major) but (C major) I'd like to tell you this (A minor) one.
(F major) It happened some (D minor) years ago, (C major) in a very (A minor) small place,
(F major) where we was (D minor) con sidered. (G major)
(C major) In a little coun (A minor) try town,
(F major) I was born and (D minor) raised.
Right (C major) next door is where (A minor) she lived,
(F major) Lucy was her name
(D minor) I (G major) (C major) was young,
but (A minor) my love grew (F major) for her more each day
(G major) But her folk (C major) s, did not un (A minor) derstand,
they (F major) made me stay away
(D minor) Locked in the (A minor) back between
her house (C major) and mine
There (F major) stood an old brown fence
(C major) And although (F major) it stood between (C major) us,
this is (D major) where each day we met
(G major) I (A minor) prayed of all the day would come
(C major) when I'd (F major) have her by my side
(C major) There would be (F major) no fence between (C major) us
We would leave (D major) all this behind
(G major) And I wanna tell you all
I was a (F major) back yard lovin' man
(C major) I just wanna testi (A minor) fy
I (G major) was a (F major) back yard lovin' man (C major)
(A minor) Oh, (F major) I remember (C major)
(A minor) I remem (F major) ber
(G major) The (C major) years have passed
We've (A minor) grown up from (F major) this old town
She's moved
(D minor) Now (G major) I'm (C major) still tryin' to make (A minor) it
And she's (F major) makin' front page news
(D minor) I (G major) mis (C major) s that little coun (A minor) try girl
The (F major) soft touch of her hand
(D minor) But (G major) if we (C major) were seen togeth (A minor) er now
No (F major) one would understand
(D minor) Even though (A minor) she's in
a dif (C major) ferent world
Where all (F major) her moves are grand
(C major) She still (F major) can't erase the love (C major) she had
For her (D major) backyard (G major) lovin' man
If (A minor) we want to share our love
(C major) We (F major) have to slip away
(C major) It's so plain (F major) to see there's
still (C major) a fence
Stand (D major) in' (G major) in our way
And I (C major) wanna tell (A minor) you all I'm (G major) still
her (F major) backyard lov (C major) in' man
I just wanna testi (A minor) fy I'm (G major) still her
(F major) backyard lovin' man (C major) (A minor)
(F major) Oh, oh, (D minor) I remember (C major) (A minor) (F major)
(D minor) When (G major) we (A minor) were young we talked of love
(C major) Through crack (F major) s between the fence
(C major) And that (F major) barrier between (C major) our love
Has (D major) been there ever since (G major)
I (C major) want to tell (A minor) you all (G major) that I'm a (F major) bad
God -loving man
(C major) I just want to testify (A minor) I'm (G major) still a (F major) bad
God -loving man (C major)
Rise above it all (Csus4) someday
Together we will have our way
And (F major) we won't care what people (G major) say
And I (C major) want to testify (A minor) (G major) that I'm a (F major) bad
God -loving man
(C major) I just want to testi (A minor) fy that (G major) I'm a (F major) bad
God -loving man
(C major) I just wanna tell (A minor) the world that
(G major) I'm a (F major) backyard lovin' (C major) man
I just wanna tell (A minor) the world (G major) that
I'm a (F major) backyard lovin' (C major) man
I just wanna tell (A minor) you that (G major)
she's my (F major) backyard lovin' girl
