I'm a little unsure about all the chords in this song, as it's
quite difficult to hear clearly.  Any corrections welcomed.  One
thing is for certain- you don't want to be strumming all the
strings all the time.  Most of it's on 2, 3 and 4, but hit the
top string on the upstroke, especially on that C#m in the
verse.

Intro

A Bsus4 Asus2 x2

Bsus4       C#m      Asus2
Today's the 4th of July
Bsus4       C#m           Asus2
    another June has gone by
Bsus4           C#m          D           A
  and when they light up our town I just think
       Asus2       Bsus4      Asus2
what a waste of gunpowder and sky.

A Bsus4 Asus2

Bsus4           C#m   Asus2
    I'm certain I am alone
Bsus4             C#m             Asus2
    in harbouring thoughts of our home
Bsus4             C#m           D              A
   it's one of my faults that I can't quell my past
  Asus2         Bsus4     Asus2
I ought to have gotten it gone
  A             Bsus4      Asus2
I ought to have gotten it...

B   E      C#m       B            A     Bsus4  Asus2
Ooh baby I wonder if when you are older some   day
B      E           C#m         B             A
you'll wake up and say "My God I should have told her,
Bsus4         Asus2
what would it take?
B   E          C#m        B              A       Bsus4 A
But now here I am and the world's gotten colder
    Asus2               Bsus4        Asus2
and she's got the river down which I sold her"
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

Ooh baby...
