A                             E                       D
Alone with the morning burning red on the canvas in my head
                      F#m    E
Painting a picture of you
     A                    E                    D
And me driving across country, in a dusty old RV
                        F#m    E
Just the road and its majesty
        D                       E
And I’m looking at you with the world in the rear view


[Chorus]
         A
You were pretty as can be, sitting in the front seat
E                                                 A
Looking at me, telling me you love me, and you’re happy to be,
                       D
With me on the 4th of July
        A
We sang Stranglehold to the stereo
         E
Couldn’t take no more of that rock n roll
      A                                           D
So we put on a little George Jones and just sang along


A   D   A   D


[Verse 2]
             A                       E                       D
Those white lines get drawn into the sun if you ain’t got no one
                    F#m    E
To keep you hanging on
           A                                 E                       D
And there you were like a queen in your nightgown, riding shotgun from town to town
                       F#m        E
Staking a claim on the world we found
        D                                              E
And I’m singing to you, you’re singing to me, you were out of the blue to a boy like me


[Chorus]
         A
You were pretty as can be, sitting in the front seat
E                                                 A
Looking at me, telling me you love me, and you’re happy to be,
                       D
With me on the 4th of July
        A
We sang Stranglehold to the stereo
         E
Couldn’t take no more of that rock n roll
      A                                           D
So we put on a little George Jones and just sang along


[Solo]

A   F#m   D    E

        D                       E
and I’m looking for you in the silence that we share


[Chorus]
E   N.C.
You were pretty as can be, sitting in the front seat
E                                                 A
Looking at me, telling me you love me, and you’re happy to be,
                       D
With me on the 4th of July
        A
We sang Stranglehold to the stereo
         E
Couldn’t take no more of that rock n roll
      A                                           D
So we put on a little George Jones and just sang along
