Intro -x4-: Bm7   E   D

Verse 1:
    Bm7        E           A        E
The evil it spread like a fever ahead
        D             E            D
It was night when you died, my firefly
 Bm7               E          A               E
What could I have said to raise you from the dead?
         D         E                   D
Oh could I be the sky on the Fourth of July?

Chorus:
          E         A
Well you do enough talk
E          A      E         D
My little hawk, why do you cry?
         E            A             E          A
Tell me what did you learn from the Tillamook burn?
        E         D
Or the Fourth of July?
                  Bm7
We’re all gonna die

Interlude:
   Bm7  E  A  E  D  E  -x2
   D

Verse 2:
Bm7             E            A             E
Sitting at the bed with the halo at your head
       D          E                 D
Was it all a disguise, like Junior High
Bm7                   E        A           E
Where everything was fiction, future, and prediction
D             E               D
Now, where am I? My fading supply

Chorus:
          E          A
Did you get enough love,
E         A      E         D
my little dove, Why do you cry?
        E       A            E           A
And I’m sorry I left, but it was for the best
          E          D
Though it never felt right
                   Bm
My little Versailles

Interlude:
   Bm7  E  A  E  D  E  -x2-
   D

Verse 3:
Bm7           E                A       E
The hospital asked should the body be cast
       D         E                   D
Before I say goodbye, my star in the sky
Bm7           E          A              E
Such a funny thought to wrap you up in cloth
       D              E               D
Do you find it all right, my dragonfly?

Chorus:
         E           A
Shall we look at the moon
E         A      E         D
My little loon, Why do you cry?
         E            A     E           A
Make the most of your life, while it is rife
      E     D
While it is light
         E         Gbm
Well you do enough talk
Dbm         Gbm     E          D
My little hawk, why do you cry?
        E            Gbm              Dbm         Gbm
Tell me what did you learn from the Tillamook burn?
       E           D
Or the Fourth of July?
                  Bm7  E  A  E  D  E
We’re all gonna die
                  Bm7  E  A  E  D  E
We’re all gonna die
                  D
We’re all gonna die

                  Bm7  E  D
We’re all gonna die       -x4-
                  -nc-
We’re all gonna die

Biography

Sufjan Stevens (Born July 1, 1975) is an American musician, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist from Petoskey, Michigan. He is known for his lyrically focused and instrumentally rich songs that often relate to faith and family. He has enjoyed wide critical success in the United States. He is considered part of the folk revival through indie pop, but his influences are very broad, including experimental electronic music, the jazz of Vince Guaraldi, and the academic minimalism of Steve Reich and Philip Glass.
