[Verse 1]
I [Am]know[F][C][F][C][D]
[G]you[C]'ve heard a lot [G]of stories,
[F]but [C]I'd like to tell you this one[Am].
[F]It happened some yea[Dm]rs ago, in [C]a very sma[Am]ll place,
[F]where we was con[Dm] sid[G]ered.
[C]In a little coun[Am]try town,
[F]I was born and r[Dm]aised.
[C]Right next door is where [Am]she lived,
[F]Lucy was her name
[Dm]I wa[G]s yo[C]ung,
but [Am]my love grew f[F]or her more each day
[G]But her folks, [C]did not under[Am]stand,
they [F]made me stay away
[Dm]Locked in the [Am]back between
her house [C]and mine
There [F]stood an old brown fence
[C]And although it [F]stood between us,[C]
this is [D]where each day we met
[G]I pra[Am]yed of all the day would come
[C]when I'd [F]have her by my side
[C]There would be no [F]fence between us[C]
We would [D]leave all this behind
[G]And I wanna tell you all
I was a [F]back yard lovin' man
[C]I just wanna testify[Am]
[G]I was a b[F]ack yard lovin' m[C]an
[Am]Oh, [F]I reme[C]mber
[Am]I remember[F]
[G]The [C]years have passed
[Am]We've grown up from [F]this old town
She's moved
[Dm]Now [G]I'm stil[C]l tryin' to make it[Am]
And she's [F]makin' front page news
[Dm]I mi[G]ss tha[C]t little country gir[Am]l
The [F]soft touch of her hand
[Dm]But [G]if we were[C] seen together n[Am]ow
No [F]one would understand
[Dm]Even though she'[Am]s in
a dif[C]ferent world
Where all [F]her moves are grand
[C]She sti[F]ll can't erase the love she[C] had
For her [D]backyard [G]lovin' man
[Am]If we want to share our love
[C]We hav[F]e to slip away
[C]It's so plain [F]to see there's
still [C]a fence
Stand[D]in' [G]in our way
And I [C]wanna tell [Am]you all I'm s[G]till
her [F]backyard lov[C]in' man
I just wanna [Am]testi[G]fy I'm still her
[F]backyard lovin' [C]man[Am]
[F]Oh, [Dm]oh, I [C]remember[Am][F]
[Dm]When[G] we we[Am]re young we talked of love
[C]Through cracks b[F]etween the fence
[C]And that bar[F]rier between our[C] love
Has [D]been there ever [G]since
I [C]want to tell [Am]you a[G]ll that I'm a [F]bad
God -loving man
[C]I just want to [Am]testify I'm[G] still a bad[F]
God -loving [C]man
Rise above it all [Csus4]someday
Together we will have our way
And [F]we won't care what [G]people say
And I [C]want [Am]to testify [G]that I'm a [F]bad
God -loving man
[C]I just want to testify [Am]that [G]I'm a bad[F]
God -loving man
[C]I just wanna tell the[Am] world that
[G]I'm a [F]backyard lovin' [C]man
I just wanna tell [Am]the world [G]that
I'm a [F]backyard lovin' [C]man
I just wanna [Am]tell [G]you that
she's my [F]backyard lovin' girl
