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

This is missing the Bridge:
Whatever happened I, uh, apologize
Dry your tears and baby walk outside, it’s the 4th of July
