If I had a yard
G#
I would play in it
D#mA#m
We could play in it
G# *Ebm(1st time only)F#
If we had a yard, if we had a yard, if we had a yard
F#m
On a sunny day
I would play croquet
In the early spring
You could grow green things
(and purple flowers)
Should the children frown
We would hose them down
ChorusF#
Sleep outside at night
When the moon is bright
Watch the laundry wave
Dig the dog a grave
(in the garden?)
Drink the acid rain
‘Til we go insane
If I had a yard
I would play in it
We could play in it
If we had a yard
If you had a yard
If I had a yard
