Fourth of July
Dave Alvin
G D C
She's waiting for me when I get home from work
C G
But things just ain't the same
G D 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 D C
On the stairs I smoke a cigarette alone
C D (walkdown:/D/C/B/A)
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
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
[Chorus]
C D D C
Whatever happened, I apologize
C D
So dry your tears and baby, walk outside
D G
It's the Fourth of July
