[ A ]            [ G ]         [ A ]
Firecracker, you waved in the night,
    [ G ]           [ D ]        [ E ]
Something that I saw was a flaming,
    [ A ]            [ G ]         [ A ]
Your body, it was real in the light,
[ G ]                [ D ]           [ E ]
On the fourth of july, we were screaming

[ F#m ]                      [ D ]
Well I saw the lonley road,
                                 [ A ]
You left and said to me, don't follow,
                 [ E ]
Cause I'll only bring you sorrow.
[ F#m ]                           [ D ]
And head on down my lonley road,
You left and I just said

[riff one]

No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no

    [ A ]            [ G ]         [ A ]
Well I'm back in, my old town again
            [ G ]           [ D ]          [ E ]
Is there something still alive that I left here?
    [ A ]            [ G ]         [ A ]
Do you still like, the boys on the street?
  [ G ]            [ D ]                    [ E ]
I will take you uptown, just to see you meet them.

Chorus

[No chord here, I just thump my guitar with my palm]

I said I've, been reading the bible for a change,
Maybe there's something I have miswsed there,
Well I seen, well I seen some eyes in the rain,
they creep out my mind,
And I saw you whisper,

    [ A ]            [ G ]         [ A ]
Firecracker, you waved in the night,
   [ G ]           [ D ]         [ E ]
Something that I saw was a flaming,
    [ A ]               [ G ]           [ A ]
Do you feel like, we left something here,
[ G ]                [ D ]           [ E ]
Something worth coming back and cleaning?


[ F#m ]                      [ D ]
Well I saw the lonley road,
                                 [ A ]
You left and said to me, don't follow,
                 [ E ]
Cause I'll only bring you sorrow.
[ F#m ]                           [ D ]
And head on down my lonley road,
                                          [ A ]
You left and said, you said to me, Don't follow,
                       [ E ]
cause we'll sleep and drink for tomorrow,
[ F#m ]                    [ D ]
And in the dead of night,
                                 [ A ]
You left and said to me, don't follow,
                 [ E ]
Cause I'll only bring you sorrow.
[ F#m ]                      [ D ]
And head on down my lonley road,
You left and I just said
[riff one]
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
