Introduction: A D
A E D
Alone with the morning burning red in the canvas in my head
D F#m E
Painting a picture of you
A E D
And me driving across country, in a dusty old RV
D F#m E
Just the road and its majesty
D E
And I'm looking at you with the world in the rear view
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,
A 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 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 with your nightgown, riding shotgun from town to town
D 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
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,
A 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 F#m D E
D E
and I'm looking for you in the silence that we share
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,
