When listening to the song, the chords are slightly off-beat with the words, which is why a lot of them are displayed between the words themselves. During the chorus, the strumming pattern differs slightly here, sort of like going from 3/4 time to 6/8 time, but listening to the song as you play will help you figure it out. Also, I like playing this song with a capo on the 5th fret, but it still sounds fine without it. :) 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 ( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/bowerbirds/in_the_yard_crd.html ) 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 Solo (same as verse): FCG FCG DAGFE Verse: F F 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 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 Outro: FCG F Am G (repeat until end) F
