Intro: Am  G  F 
         Am  G  F 
         Am  G  F 
         Am  G  F 

    F        G            C      G 
The evil it spread like a fever ahead 
       F              G               F 
It was night when you died, my firefly 
F                 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? 

         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? 
                F       G    C     G    F 
We’re all gonna die 

( F  G  C  G  F ) 

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

        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 
             F       G   C   G   F       G 
My little Versailles 

( F  G  C  G  F  G  F ) 

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

         G           C     G         C 
Shall we look at the moon, my little loon 
           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? 
                   F  G  C  G  F  G 
We’re all gonna die  
                F 
We're all gonna die 

                Am  G  F 
We're all gonna die
