Intro

ch]A[/ch
We heard the fireworks
ch]G6[/ch
Rushed out to watch the sky
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Happy-go-lucky, Fourth of July
ch]E5[/ch
How can you live in the Northeast?
How can you live in the South?
How can you build on the banks of a river
When the floodwater pours from the mouth?
ch]E5[/ch
How can you be a Christian?
How can you be a Jew?
How can you be a Mulsim, a Buddhist, a Hindu?
How can you?
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]A[/ch] [ch]G6[/ch
Weak as the winter sun, we enter life on earth
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
Names and religion come just after date of birth
ch]A[/ch
And everybody gets a tongue to speak
ch]G6[/ch
And everyone hears an inner voice
ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
A day at the end of the week to wonder and rejoice
ch]G6[/ch] [ch]F#m[/ch] [ch]E[/ch
If the answer is infinite light, why do we sleep in the dark?
ch]E5[/ch
How can you live in Northeast?
How can you live the South?
How can you build on the banks of a river
When the floodwater pours from the mouth?
ch]E5[/ch
How can you tattoo your body?
Why do you cover your head?
How can you eat from a rice bowl?
The holy man only breaks bread

Outro
ch]E[/ch
I’ve been given all I wanted
Only three generations off the boat
I have harvested and I have planted
I am wearing my father’s old coat
