[Verse]
Am Am
Have you heard my story, It's all over town
E7 Am
I had the love of a real fine girl and I let her down
Am Am
She loved and she trusted, I could not be true
E7 Am
Now I’m drowning in a river of love, I don’t know what I’ll do
[Pre-Chorus]
D C Am E7
I paid a real high price for my wandering eye
D C Am E7
It’s a priceless piece of advice before all goes dry
[Chorus]
Am Am
Water your own yard Water your own yard
E7 Am
When the other man's grass looks greener water your own yard
Am Am
I started slippin, started messin’ round after dark
E7 Am
She called and told me come on over, showed me right where to park
Am Am
And it was then that I stumbled, And it was then that I fell
E7 Am
I threw everything that I own into the wishing well
[Pre-Chorus]
D C Am E7
I paid a real high price for my wandering eye
D C Am E7
It’s a priceless piece of advice before all goes dry
[Chorus]
Am Am
Water your own yard Water your own yard
E7 Am
When the other man's grass looks greener water your own yard
Am Am
I wouldn’t listen, I just couldn’t conceive
E7 Am
And I’m paying no attention to love reaching out for me
Am Am
I went looking for greener grass, with no water in my well
E7 Am
Now I’m sitting on a bottom with a bucket and a story to tell
[Pre-Chorus]
D C Am E7
I paid a real high price for my wandering eye
D C Am E7
It’s a priceless piece of advice before all goes dry
[Chorus]
Am Am
Water your own yard Water your own yard
E7 Am
When the other man's grass looks greener water your own yard
Am Am
Water your own yard Water your own yard
E7 Am
When the other man's grass looks greener water your own yard
E7 Am
When the other man's grass looks greener water your own yard
E7 Am
When the other man's grass looks greener water your own yard
E7 Am
When the other man's grass looks greener water your own yard
