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

Outro:

We’re all gonna die       (x4)
                  (nc)
We’re all gonna die
