[Intro]
Am Am D D C C x4

[Verse 1]
Am Am D D G G D D
The evil it spread like a fever ahead
C C D D C C
It was night when you died, my firefly
Am Am D D G G D D
What could I have said to raise you from the dead?
C C D D C C
Oh could I be the sky on the Fourth of July?

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

[Interlude]
Am Am D D G G D D C C D D (x2)
C C

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

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

[Interlude]
Am Am D D G G D D C C D D (x2)
C C

[Verse 3]
Am Am D D G G D D
The hospital asked should the body be cast
C C D D C C
Before I say goodbye, my star in the sky
Am Am D D G G D D
Such a funny thought to wrap you up in cloth
C C D D C C
Do you find it all right, my dragonfly?

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

[Outro]
Am Am D D C C
We’re all gonna die (x4)
N.C.
We’re all gonna die
