[D]Ooh
My mum woke [G]my dad [A]up

[G]On the[A] fourth of July[D]

[Verse 2]
They flew through [G]the darkness[A]
[D]Driving like Jeh[G]u[A][Em]
And they [D]rolled into [G]Ot [A]tumwa
[Bm]Before the sun b[A]egan to rise[Em]
[G]On the[A] fourth of July[D]

[Verse 3]
And in walks Bob [G]and Janice[A]
[D]Rachel's on her[G] way[A][Em]
To peek [D]in through [G]the window[A]

[G]On the[A] fourth of July[G]
