Standard (EADGBE)
Firecracker, you waved in the night,
Something that I saw was a flaming,
Your body, it was real in the light,
On the fourth of july, we were screaming
Well I saw the lonley road,
You left and said to me, don't follow,
Cause I'll only bring you sorrow.
And head on down my lonley road,
You left and I just said
Riff one
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
Well I'm back in, my old town again
Is there something still alive that I left here?
Do you still like, the boys on the street?
I will take you uptown, just to see you meet them.
Chorus
[No chord here, I just thump my guitar with my palm]
I said I've, been reading the bible for a change,
Maybe there's something I have miswsed there,
Well I seen, well I seen some eyes in the rain,
they creep out my mind,
And I saw you whisper,
Firecracker, you waved in the night,
Something that I saw was a flaming,
Do you feel like, we left something here,
Something worth coming back and cleaning?
Well I saw the lonley road,
You left and said to me, don't follow,
Cause I'll only bring you sorrow.
And head on down my lonley road,
You left and said, you said to me, Don't follow,
cause we'll sleep and drink for tomorrow,
And in the dead of night,
You left and said to me, don't follow,
Cause I'll only bring you sorrow.
And head on down my lonley road,
You left and I just said
Riff one
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
