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