Here are the chords to 'Our Backyard' by Amber Lawrence and Travis Collins!
I really like this song! I especially like the content and the imagery
within the song's lyrics which make me feel very patriotic (being an Australian, myself!)
The chords are really simple so this song is perfect if you're a beginner! Also,
I'm not sure whether these lyrics are 100% correct because I couldn't find any lyrics
online so I had to listen to the song myself and type up what I could hear to the best of my ability.
But anyway, have fun playing :)
NO CAPO
[INTRO]

[VERSE 1]
  DI've stood on the steps of the ColosGseum
  I've boggled at the Northern LightsA  
  Watched the flicker of the Eiffel TowerG  
  On a hot French summer night
  DWalked the cobblestone streets of LondonG  
  Rolled a seven on Vegas streetA  
  Been on Broadway, New York CityG  
  I loved every minute of it...
[CHORUS]
  DBut there's nothing like a Silverton sunset
  GSetting fire to an outback sky
  ANothing like taking in the harbour
  GOn the Manly ferry rideEm  
  DDriving out on the Western Highway
  GSleeping under the Territory stars
  AI've seen enough of the world to know that the Gvery best parts
  Are right hEmere in our Down backyard

  DI've really put a dent in the bucket liGst of all the places I wanted to go
  SippAed a few Steins at Oktoberfest
  GEven shot tequila in MexicoEm  
  DI stood in wonder on the Great Wall of China
  PosGed like a Beatle on Abbey Road
  AI lit a candle at the Taj Mahal
  GAnd wrote a song on Music Row
  But no maAtter where I Ggo...
[CHORUS]

Walked the cobblestone streets of London

Rolled a seven on Vegas street

Been on Broadway, New York City

I loved every minute of it...

Posed like a Beatle on Abbey Road

I lit a candle at the Taj Mahal

And wrote a song on Music Row
