Fourth Of July Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Sufjan Stevens

[Intro]

Am    G   F   x3


[Verse 1]

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


[Chorus]

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


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


[Chorus]

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


[Verse 3]

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


[Chorus]

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