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)
