Verse One:
    G5                                         D5
   She's waitin' for me                  when I get home from work

   C5                           G5
  Oh but things just ain't the same
   G5                                         D5
   She turns off the light               and cries in the dark
  C5                                    D5
  and she won't answer when I call her name




Chorus:
    C5                       D5
    On the stairs I smoke a cigarette alone
    C5                         D5
    Mexican kids are shooting fireworks below
         G5                    E5
    And  hey baby    it's the 4th of July
    G5                     E5
    Hey Baby     it's the 4th of July


Verse two:
      G5                                         D5
     She gives me her cheek               when I want her lips
     C5                                   G5
     Oh but I don't have the strength to go
     G5                                          D5
     On the Far side of town               in a dark apartment
     C5                        D5
     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.
