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
