[Verse 1]

           Dm                 C                C
It was the third of July on a cool cloudy sky
         G                  Dm      Dm
I set in for a storm in the makin'
    Dm                   C                    C
I relaxed as I sat up in our three room flat
         G                           Dm    Dm
while my wife was in the kitchen a bakin'
         Dm                        C                C
Thoughts passed through my mind of no special kind
     G                        Dm      Dm
Like faces that look like the others
  Dm                 C                 C
Tomorrow they say is Independence Day
      G                        Dm         Dm
And I guess we'll go eat at my brother's

[Verse 2]

    Dm                       C                   C
I believe that a thought has just gotten caught
     G                          Dm        Dm
In a place where words can't surround it
      Dm                           C                  C
It concerns the years past and the shadows they cast
       G               Dm        Dm
And my path as I walk around it
