Intro Chords: G Em G Em

Verse One:

G D

She's waitin' for me when I get home from work

C G

Oh but things just ain't the same

G D

She turns off the light and cries in the dark

C D

and she won't answer when I call her name

Chorus:

C D

On the stairs I smoke a cigarette alone

C D

Mexican kids are shooting fireworks below

G Em

And hey baby it's the 4th of July

G Em

Hey Baby it's the 4th of July

Verse two:

G D

She gives me her cheek when I want her lips

C G

Oh but I don't have the strength to go

G D

On the Far side of town in a dark apartment

C D

We gave up trying so long ago

Chorus

Between chorus one and verse two replay the intro chords

John Doe and Tony Gilkyson do a "walk down" bass note run C B G E between the G

and Em chords and a G F# E walk down prior to entering the chorus lines. Listen

to the song to get the feel of the walk down.
