Standard (EADGBE)
Intro chords
Verse one
She's waitin' for me when I get home from work
Oh but things just ain't the same
She turns off the light and cries in the dark
and she won't answer when I call her name
Chorus
On the stairs I smoke a cigarette alone
Mexican kids are shooting fireworks below
And hey baby it's the 4th of July
Hey Baby it's the 4th of July
Verse two
She gives me her cheek when I want her lips
Oh but I don't have the strength to go
On the Far side of town in a dark apartment
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.
