[Intro]
 
Am    G   F   x3
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
    Dm        G           C        G
The evil it spread like a fever ahead
        F             G          F
It was night when you died, my firefly
 Dm               G          C               G
What could I have said to raise you from the dead?
         F         G                   F
Oh could I be the sky on the Fourth of July?
 
 
[Chorus]
 
          G         C
Well you do enough talk
G          C      G         F
My little hawk, why do you cry?
         G            C             G          C
Tell me what did you learn from the Tillamook burn?
        G         F
Or the Fourth of July?
                  Am G C G F
We’re all gonna die
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
 Dm             G            C            G
Sitting at the bed with the halo at your head
        F        G                  F
Was it all a disguise, like Junior High
 Dm                   G        C            G
Where everything was fiction, future, and prediction
 F            G               F
Now, where am I? My fading supply
 
 
[Chorus]
 
         G          C    G          C
Did you get enough love, my little dove
 G          F
Why do you cry?
         G       C            G           C
And I’m sorry I left, but it was for the best
           G          F
Though it never felt right
                    Am G C G F
My little Versailles
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
     Dm       G               C        G
The hospital asked should the body be cast
       F         G                   F
Before I say goodbye, my star in the sky
Dm           G          C              G
Such a funny thought to wrap you up in cloth
       F           G               F
Do you find it all right, my dragonfly?
 
 
[Chorus]
 
          G          C
Shall we look at the moon
G         C
My little loon
G          F
Why do you cry?
         G            C     G           C
Make the most of your life, while it is rife
G           F
While it is light
         G         C
Well you do enough talk
G         C      G         F
My little hawk, why do you cry?
        G            C              G         C
Tell me what did you learn from the Tillamook burn?
       G         F
Or the Fourth of July?
                   Am G C G F
We’re all gonna die
