G#m7(11)  A#m7(b13)  B(+9)   x2

Verse 1
G#m7(11)  D#m7  B(+9)
Today's the 4th of July
G#m7(11) D#m7         B(+9)
another June has gone by
G#m7(11)      D#m7         E6/9        B(+9)
and when they light up our town I just think
G#m7(11)         A#m7(b13)    B(+9)
what a waste of gunpowder and sky.
G#m7(11) A#m7(b13) B(+9)

Verse 2
G#m7(11) D#m7  B(+9)
I'm certain I am alone
G#m7(11)    D#m7             B(+9)
in harbouring thoughts of our home
G#m7(11)     D#m7        E6/9           B(+9)
it's one of my faults that I can't quell my past
G#m7(11)      A#m7(b13) B(+9)
I ought to have gotten it gone
G#m7(11) A#m7(b13) B(+9)
I ought to have gotten it...

Chorus
C#sus B(+9)  F#        D#m7     G#m7(11) C#sus B(+9)
Ooh   baby I wonder if when you are older some   day
C#sus  B(+9)       F#               D#m7         G#m7(11)
you'll wake up and say "My God I should have told her,
C#sus         B(+9)
what would it take?
C#sus B(+9)      F#            D#m7          G#m7(11)
But   now here I am and the world's gotten colder
C#sus B(+9)
--
G#m7(11)                A#m7(b13)    B(+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
