Forth of July - Pete Droge
tabbed by Steve Vetter [vetters@vax1.elon.edu]

ELike (022100@1)you I've been hurt seen my face in the dirt
                         BBut (x2444x@1)I never reacted like you

The last time we met, you seemd so upset
                                 EWe (022100@1)you left town you did not say bye

       A (x02220@1)                       EThen (022100@1)I heard you'd been seen way down in Eugene
A (x02220@1)                  EWorking (022100@1)as a factory slave
           A (x02220@1)                          EThough (022100@1)the life that you took came from no storybook
B (x2444x@1)                        AYou (x02220@1)spent it before it was saved

                EOn (022100@1)the forth of July
                      BSee (x2444x@1)the sparks in the sky
                        AWhen (x02220@1)you're sick of the tryin
                        Band (x2444x@1)you're tired of the cryin
                       EThen (022100@1)the forth of the July
                 Bis (x2444x@1)a good day to die
                     AWe'll (x02220@1)celebrate each year
                       EYour (022100@1)independance from here

If you only had just a glimmer of hope
Then I know you'd have done some great things
But you tossed out your gift and it's makin me wish
I'd been there when you found yourself down

But you turned to no one but a bullet and a gun
and the bang blame did end with the day
And I sit here and I drink it still hurts me to think
of the sad songs that we used to play

On the forth of July
See the sparks in the sky
When you're sick of the tryin
and you're tired of the cryin
Then the forth of the July
is a good day to die
We'll celebrate each year
Your independance from here


(For Kurt Cobain?)
