Clean Up Your Own Backyard
Ton : EEnglish
Intro
E
Couplet
EBack porch preacher preaching at me
EActing like he wrote the golden rules
AShaking his fist and speeching at me
EShouting from his soap box like a fool
Come B7Sunday morning he's lying in bed
AWith his eye all red with the wine in his head
Wishing he Awas dead when he oughta be
Heading for Sunday Eschool
Refrain
Clean up your own Abackyard
Oh don't you hand me none of your E7lines
Clean up your B7own backyard
AYou tend to your business I'll tend to E7mine
Couplet
EDrugstore cowboy criticizing
EActing like he's better than you and me
AStanding on the sidewalk supervising
ETelling everybody how they ought to be
Come B7closing time 'most every night
He Alocks up tight and out go the lights
And Ahe ducks out of sight and he cheats on his wife
With his Eemployee
Refrain
Clean up your own Abackyard
Oh don't you hand me none of your E7lines
Clean up your B7own backyard
AYou tend to your business I'll tend to E7mine
E
Couplet
EArmchair quarterback's always moanin'
ESecond guessing people all day long
APushing fooling and hanging on in
EAlways messing where they don't belong
When you B7get right down to the nitty-gritty
AIsn't it a pity that in this big city
ANot a one a'little bitty man'll admit
He could have been a little bit Ewrong
Refrain
Clean up your own Abackyard
Oh don't you hand me don't you hand me none of your E7lines
Clean up your B7own backyard
AYou tend to your business I'll tend to E7mine
Clean up your B7own backyard
AYou tend to your business I'll tend to E7mine
