Fourth Of July
by Dave Alvin
Dave Alvin, "Every Night About This Time", Demon Records, 1987
X, "See How We Are", Elektra, 1987


Intro: G  Em

G                               D         Dsus4     C
She's waiting for me when I get home from work
C                         G     Gsus4
But things just ain't the same
G                           D            Dsus4     C
She turns out the light and cries in the dark
C                            D
Won't answer when I call her name

(chorus)
C                       D              G     E D C
On the stairs I smoke a   cigarette alone
C                             D               Dsus4
The Mexican kids are shooting fireworks below
G                      Em
Hey, baby, it's the Fourth of July
G                      Em
Hey, baby, it's the Fourth of July


(same as first verse)
She gives me her cheek when I want her lips
And I don't have the strength to go
On the lost side of town in a dark apartment
We gave up trying so long ago

(repeat chorus)

C                    D            E D C
Whatever happened, I   apologize
C                           D
So dry your tears and baby, walk outside
D                   G
It's the Fourth of July

(repeat chorus)
