Verse 1:
              Ab        Db              G          Eb 
Shower in the dark  day,   clean sparks diving down
            Ab       Db                G  
Cool in the waterway where the baptized    drown
             Ab        Db           G             Eb 
Naked in the cold  sun,   breathing life like fire
  Ab                  Db          G  
I thought I was the only one, but that was just a lie
                         Eb  Gb   
'Cause I heard it in the wind

Chorus:
                    C  Bb 
And I saw it in the sky
                     Eb  Gb   
I thought it was the end
                     C        Bb 
I thought it was the 4th of July

            Ab          Db                  G                    Eb 
Pale in the flare light,   the scared light cracks and disappears
Ab        Db                     G  
      And leads the scorched ones    here
    Eb         Gb                   C       Bb 
And everywhere no    one cares, the fire is spreading
    Eb          Gb                  C   Bb 
And no one wants      to speak about  it
            Ab     Db 
Down in the hole 
      G                     Eb 
Jesus tries to crack a smile
Ab      Db            G  
      Beneath another shovel load
                      G   Bb  
And I heard it in the wind

Chorus:
                    Eb  F 
And I saw it in the sky

I thought it was the 4th of July

Heard it in the wind
                    Eb  F 
And I saw it in the sky
                         G  Bb  
And I thought it was the end
                     Eb        Eb  Gb   
I thought it was the 4th of July

G    Ab     Db  G                 Ab     Db         G              Eb 
                    Now I'm in control,     now I'm in  the fallout
Ab                 Db       G  
      Once asleep, but now I    stand
              Ab          Db    G         Eb 
And I still remember your sweet everything
Ab               Db      G  
Light a Roman candle and hold it in your hand
                         G   Bb  
'Cause I heard it in the wind

I thought it was the 4th of July
                G   Bb  
Heard it in the wind
                    Eb  F 
And I saw it in the sky
                         G  Bb
