* Can do a walkdown here, C G/B Am

  A                               E
I came from the north escaping convention

    B                                  E
The modern invention that won't let me be

       A                                      Emaj7/G#
To the shores of St. Martin with my fiction addiction

   F#7add11            Bsus4          B
To restart the fire, a dreamer's remedy

    A                        E
Independence day and all I remember

      B                                  E
Was a midnight rainbow, it fell from the sky

     A                               Emaj7/G#
As I stand on the beach, I slowly surrender

       F#7add11                      Bsus4   B
To the child in me who can't say goodbye

    E              Emaj7
The rockets in the air,

        A           E
And the people everywhere

C#m            F#7add11          Bsus4   B
Put away their differences for a while

    E            Emaj7/G#
Oh, I am still a child

        A                  F#7add11
When it comes to something wild

    E             B      A           E
Oh, that was the night I painted the sky

  A                                E
I dug in the sand like a boy, on a mission.

    B                            E
And there in my hands a pyro's delight

  A                        Emaj7/G#
A bombadier, a nighttime magician,

  F#7add11                              Bsus4   B
I spark the sky as the rockets fly from view

    E              Emaj7
The rockets in the air,

        A           E
And the people everywhere

C#m            F#7add11          Bsus4   B
Put away their differences for a while

     E            Emaj7/G#
Yes, I am still a child

        A                  F#7add11
When it comes to something wild

    E             B      A           E
Oh, that was the night I painted the sky

        A                          E
Oh, the mortars they roar in anticipation,

   B                               E
Preceding the sigh of the uplifted eyes

   A                             Emaj7/G#
It showers us all in sulfuric sensation,

    F#7add11                        Bsus4   B
The colors shine in a fiery rhyme tonight

    E              Emaj7/G#
The rockets in the air,

        A           E
And the people everywhere

          C#m           F#7add11          Bsus4   B
Won't you put away your differences for a while

E          Emaj7/G#
I am but a child

        A                  F#7add11
When it comes to something wild

    E             B    G#/B#
Oh, that was the night

C#m           F#7
That was the night

    E            B        A           E
Oh, that was the night, I painted the sky

(E)  C#m   F#7add11   Bsus4
                      Painted the

 E   C#m   F#7add11   Bsus4
 sky                  Painted the
