Fourth Of July Chords

(ver. 1)
Sufjan Stevens

[Verse 1]

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


[Chorus]

          Am        Em
Well you do enough talk
 Am         Em    Am        C
My little hawk, why do you cry?
         Am           Em            Am        Em  
Tell me what did you learn from the Tillamook burn?
        Am        C 
Or the Fourth of July?
                Am   Bm   C   D   C   Em
We're all gonna die


[Verse 2]
 
Am             Bm            C           D
Sitting at the bed with the halo at your head
        C     Em
Was it all a disguise, like Junior High
Am                    Bm       C           D
Where everything was fiction, future, and prediction
C              Em            F
Now, where am I? My fading supply


[Chorus]

             Am    Em    Am        Em 
Did you get enough love, my little dove
Am         C
Why do you cry?
        Am      Em           Am          Em
And I'm sorry I left, but it was for the best
          Am          C
Though it never felt right
                Am      Bm    C    D     C     Em 
My little Versailles


[Verse 3]

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


[Chorus]

          Am          Em   Am        Em
Shall we look at the moon, my little loon
Am          C
Why do you cry?
          Am          Em    Am           Em
Make the most of your life, while it is rife
Am           C
While it is light

         Am       Em
Well you do enough talk
Am        Em     Am         C
My little hawk, why do you cry?
         Am           Em             Am       Em
Tell me what did you learn from the Tillamook burn?
       Am        C
Or the Fourth of July?
                 Am    Bm    C    D    C    Em (x2) end on Am
We're all gonna die
