Intro:
G D Em D C x2


    G                 D        Em           D      C
The stockyards its my backyard that's where I grew up
          G                     D
Its where I drank my first beer I cried my first tear
       Em        D         C 
On the corner of north and main
         G                  D
Down the bricks of exchange I felt so strange
Em                   D         C
She reached down and gave me a kiss
           G                   D 
And in the shadows of downtown I hung around
Em           D           C
To find me a gold buckle queen

Chorus:
       G                 D        Em           D      C
In the stockyards its my backyard that's where I grew up

        G                  D
If your down in the shoots twirling the loops
Em             D             C
Cadilliac's is probably your spot
        G               D
Man its cowboy hats and cowboy cats
Em            D       C
As far as the eye can see
            G                        D
And I'll be coming back real soon to longhorns saloon
Em          D         C 
So Alex can pour me a beer 


       G                 D        Em           D      C
In the stockyards its my backyard that's where I grew up

   G                 D
If your on the chase I know the place
Em              D          C
William Roberts will surly suffice
        G                 D
And if your not sure just drink one more
Em          D        C
She'll look better I swear
            G              D
Cause I was given birth in south fort worth
Em                D        C 
That's where I'll live and die
 

       G                 D        Em           D      C

    G                     D
Not sure where you are it could be PR's
Em             D       C
I've been lost there myself
    G                        D 
Two steps from my pillow the shut down armadillo
Em                D          C
I stopped off and bought one round 


       G                 D        Em           D      C
In the stockyards its my backyard that's where I grew up
G                              D
Its were I drank my first beer I cried my first tear
Em               D         C
On the corner of north and main
       G                 D        Em           D      C
In the stockyards its my backyard that's where I grew up
