Shooter Jennings - 4th of July
This is not an exact tab. This is designed for an acoustic to sound good when all parts
played together.
***Note: The first line of the third chorus doesn not play the normal G chord. You CAN
it like the other choruses, but Shooter sings that line with no guitar. At the end of
line just give good single strum on the G chord and go right into the D with your strum pattern
Intro 1: down strum, pick, down strum, pick
e|-----3----3-------3----3----|
B|-----3---3-3------3---3-3---|
G|-----0--0---0-----0--0---0--|
D|-----0------------2---------|
A|-----2------------3---------|
E|-----3------------0---------|
Intro 2: 4 down strums, one up. Change chord on the up strum
, , ,
Verse and Chorus: up and down 6 times for a full measure. For the Am and D
use up and down 3 times each for a full measure with those 2 chords.
Alone with the morning burning red in the canvas in my head
Painting a picture of you
And me driving across country, in a dusty old RV
Just the road and its majesty
And I'm looking at you with the world in the rear view
You were pretty as can be, sitting in the front seat
Looking at me, telling me you love me, and your happy to be,
With me on the 4th of July
We sang Stranglehold to the stereo
Couldn't take no more of that rock n roll
So we put on a little George Jones and just sang along
, , , (Intro 2 style strum)
Those white lines get drawn into the sun if you aint got no one
To keep you hanging on
And there you were like a queen with your nightgown,
Riding shotgun from town to town
Staking a claim on the world we found
And I'm singing to you, your singing to me ,you were out of the blue to a
boy like me
You were pretty as can be, sitting in the front seat
Looking at me, telling me you love me, and your happy to be,
With me on the 4th of July
We sang Stranglehold to the stereo
Couldn't take no more of that rock n roll
So we put on a little George Jones and just sang along
and im looking for you in the silence that we share
(No chord) G
You were pretty as can be, sitting in the front seat
Looking at me, telling me you love me, and your happy to be,
With me on the 4th of July
We sang Stranglehold to the stereo
Couldn't take no more of that rock n roll
So we put on a little George Jones and just sang along
Sang along....
D, C9, G (Single down strum on each chord)
