Intro
G#m7(11) A#m7(b13) B(+9) x2

Verse 1
G#m7(11) D#m7 B(+9)
Today's the 4th of July
G#m7(11) D#m7 B(+9)
another June has gone by
G#m7(11) D#m7 E6/9 B(+9)
and when they light up our town I just think
G#m7(11) A#m7(b13) B(+9)
what a waste of gunpowder and sky.
G#m7(11) A#m7(b13) B(+9)
--

Verse 2
G#m7(11) D#m7 B(+9)
I'm certain I am alone
G#m7(11) D#m7 B(+9)
in harbouring thoughts of our home
G#m7(11) D#m7 E6/9 B(+9)
it's one of my faults that I can't quell my past
G#m7(11) A#m7(b13) B(+9)
I ought to have gotten it gone
G#m7(11) A#m7(b13) B(+9)
I ought to have gotten it...

Chorus
C#sus B(+9) F# D#m7 G#m7(11) C#sus B(+9)
Ooh baby I wonder if when you are older some day
C#sus B(+9) F# D#m7 G#m7(11)
you'll wake up and say "My God I should have told her,
C#sus B(+9)
what would it take?
C#sus B(+9) F# D#m7 G#m7(11)
But now here I am and the world's gotten colder
C#sus B(+9)
--
G#m7(11) A#m7(b13) B(+9)
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
