Standard (EADGBE)

Intro chords

Verse one

She's waitin' for me when I get home from work

Oh but things just ain't the same

She turns off the light and cries in the dark

and she won't answer when I call her name

Chorus

On the stairs I smoke a cigarette alone

Mexican kids are shooting fireworks below

And hey baby it's the 4th of July

Hey Baby it's the 4th of July

Verse two

She gives me her cheek when I want her lips

Oh but I don't have the strength to go

On the Far side of town in a dark apartment

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.
