Verse 1
(11) (+9)
Today's the 4th of July
(11) (+9)
another June has gone by
(11) (+9)
and when they light up our town I just think
(11) (b13) (+9)
what a waste of gunpowder and sky.
(11) (b13) (+9)

Verse 2
(11) (+9)
I'm certain I am alone
(11) (+9)
in harbouring thoughts of our home
(11) (+9)
it's one of my faults that I can't quell my past
(11) (b13) (+9)
I ought to have gotten it gone
(11) (b13) (+9)
I ought to have gotten it...
Chorus
C#sus (+9) (11) C#sus (+9)
Ooh baby I wonder if when you are older some day
C#sus (+9) (11)
you'll wake up and say "My God I should have told her,
C#sus (+9)
what would it take?
C#sus (+9) (11)
But now here I am and the world's gotten colder
C#sus (+9)
--
(11) (b13) (+9)
and she's got the river down which I sold her"
Verse 3 (same as Verse 1)
So that's today's memory lane
with all the pathos and pain
another chapter in a book where the chapters are endless
and they're always the same
a verse and a verse and refrain
