Intro: G Em
G D Dsus4 C
She’s waiting for me when I get home from work
C G Gsus4
But things just ain’t the same
G D Dsus4 C
She turns out the light and cries in the dark
C D
Won’t answer when I call her name
(chorus)
C D G E D C
On the stairs I smoke a cigarette alone
C D Dsus4
The Mexican kids are shooting fireworks below
G Em
Hey, baby, it’s the Fourth of July
G Em
Hey, baby, it’s the Fourth of July
(same as first verse)
She gives me her cheek when I want her lips
And I don’t have the strength to go
On the lost side of town in a dark apartment
We gave up trying so long ago
(repeat chorus)
C D E D C
Whatever happened, I apologize
C D
So dry your tears and baby, walk outside
D G
It’s the Fourth of July
(repeat chorus)
