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:

You said this is the last t^Dime A few times ^Gago Once more its ^Dhappened Thats all in the world I ^Aknow

Pre-Chorus 1:

I still hear the e^Dcho When you hung up the ^Gphone I feel like I'm l^Dost in the backyard ^AJust tryin' to get ^Dhome

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:

Don't open my ^Aeyes To nothin' like ^Dtruth Just leave it all l^Gost in the wind ^DLet it hide in the blindness of y^Aouth Facts of the m^Datter Most likely will always re^Gmain I guess I'll be l^Dost in the backyard ^ATill I get home ag^Dain

-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
