Intro
G#m7(11) A#m7(b13) B(+9) x2
Verse 1
Today's the 4th of July
another June has gone by
and when they light up our town I just think
what a waste of gunpowder and sky.
Verse 2
I'm certain I am alone
in harbouring thoughts of our home
it's one of my faults that I can't quell my past
I ought to have gotten it gone
I ought to have gotten it...
Chorus
Ooh baby I wonder if when you are older some day
you'll wake up and say "My God I should have told her,
what would it take?
But now here I am and the world's gotten colder
and she's got the river down which I sold her"
Verse 3 (same as Verse 1)
So that's today's memory lane
with all the pathos and pain
another chapter in a book where the chapters are endless
and they're always the same
a verse and a verse and refrain
Repeat Chorus
