G
Sun’s comin’ over the deadwood
D
Sun’s shinin’ through my cherry tree
C
Goldcap on top of the hedgerow
D G
Tulips just as proud as they can be
G
Sun’s comin’ over my rooftop
D
Sun’s shinin’ on my neighbour’s car
C
Shadows five feet long now look twenty
D G
I should be rakin’ but I haven’t moved too far
Chorus:
Em G
Sun’s comin’ down in my backyard
D
It’s the prettiest thing that you have ever seen
Em G
Sun’s comin’ down in my backyard
Em D G
Mister don’t you wish that you was me
G
Birds are settlin’ in for the evenin’
D
Rabbits are nibblin’ on the grass
C
Gophers runnin’ round in the garden
D G
Sun’t goin’ down I hope it doesn’t go to fast
Chorus
Lead
D C
Oh there’s no place that I would rather be
G
In the evenin’ hour
D C
Why don’t you come over and do nothin’ with me
Em
We’ll watch the sun go down
D
We’ll watch the sun go down
Chorus:
Em G
Sun’s comin’ down in my backyard
D
It’s the prettiest thing that you have ever seen
Em G
Sun’s comin’ down in my backyard
Em D G
Mister don’t you wish that you was me
Em G
Sun’s comin’ down in my backyard
D
Wavin’ to my neighbour cross the street
Em G
Sun’s comin’ down in my backyard
Em D G
Mister don’t you wish that you was
Em D G
Mister don’t you wish that you was
Em D G
Mister don’t you wish that you was me
