    F                                         G
   She's waitin' for me                  when I get home from work

   F                           F
  Oh but things just ain't the same

   F                                         G
   She turns off the light               and cries in the dark

  F                                    G
  and she won't answer when I call her name
Chorus:
    F                       G
    On the stairs I smoke a cigarette alone

    F                         G
    Mexican kids are shooting fireworks below

         F                    Am
    And  hey baby    it's the 4th of July

    F                     Am
    Hey Baby     it's the 4th of July
Verse two:
      F                                         G
     She gives me her cheek               when I want her lips

     F                                   F
     Oh but I don't have the strength to go

     F                                          G
     On the Far side of town               in a dark apartment

     F                        G
     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.
