Fourth Of July - Sufjan Stevens

Intro: Am7 D C C x4

Verse:
    Am7        D           G        D
The evil it spread like a fever ahead
        C             D            C
It was night when you died, my firefly
 Am7               D          G               D
What could I have said to raise you from the dead?
         C         D                   C
Oh could I be the sky on the Fourth of July?

Chorus:
          D         G
Well you do enough talk
D          G      D         C
My little hawk, why do you cry?
         D            G             D          G
Tell me what did you learn from the Tillamook burn?
        D         C
Or the Fourth of July?
                  Am7
We’re all gonna die

Am7 D G D C D x2
C

Verse:
Am7             D            G             D
Sitting at the bed with the halo at your head
       C          D                 C
Was it all a disguise, like Junior High
Am7                   D        G           D
Where everything was fiction, future, and prediction
C             D               C
Now, where am I? My fading supply

Chorus:
          D          G
Did you get enough love,
D         G      D         C
my little dove, Why do you cry?
        D       G            D           G
And I’m sorry I left, but it was for the best
          D          C
Though it never felt right
                   Am7
My little Versailles

Am7 D G D C D x2
C

Verse:
Am7           D                G       D
The hospital asked should the body be cast
       C         D                   C
Before I say goodbye, my star in the sky
Am7           D          G              D
Such a funny thought to wrap you up in cloth
       C              D               C
Do you find it all right, my dragonfly?

Chorus:
         D           G
Shall we look at the moon
D         G      D         C
My little loon, Why do you cry?
         D            G     D           G
Make the most of your life, while it is rife
      D     C
While it is light
         D         Em
Well you do enough talk
Bm         Em     D          C
My little hawk, why do you cry?
        D            Em              Bm         Em
Tell me what did you learn from the Tillamook burn?
       D           C
Or the Fourth of July?
                  Am7  D  G  D  C  D
We’re all gonna die
                  Am7  D  G  D  C  D
We’re all gonna die
                  C
We’re all gonna die

Outro:
                  Am7  D  C
We’re all gonna die
                  N.C.
We’re all gonna die
