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