[Intro]
D [Verse]
D Baby town dreamin' on

the Fourth of July
Em Touchin' herself to

the stars in the sky
G The stars in the

sky made her blind, hey
A What a ride [Verse]
D Her father's father called him

big man when he missed
Em It's that '50s kinda shit

that trickles down to the kids
G So we tried giving peace

a chance but didn't know
F#m
what it is
Em And now we're patiently awaiting
D
for some light to come in
G To shake the living hell out of
A
what we became
Bm We're frightened of the old and
F#m
we're tired of the young
[Refrain]
D Guess the one-trick ponies

got us singin' along "Hey Joe"
One, two, one, two, three, four [Verse]
D Some thought about the

Ken Burns Vietnam doc
Em From Pete hunting in the

Delta to the last one to drop
G To my father and his friends at
A
the Ho Chi Minh Trail gift shop
[Verse]
D They're cryin', "So long, Bobby"

on their Jersey shirts
Em Scared to get behind anything

they believe
G 'Cause they blew the revolution

in the '30s
F#m Tryin' to plant some seeds Em And yet they're patiently awaiting
D
for some light to come in
G To shake the living hell of
A
what it would became
Bm Frightened of the state but
F#m
too tired to run
[Refrain]
D Guess the one-trick ponies

got us singin'

along "Hey Joe"
One, two, one, two, three, four [Outro]
D Hey Joe, what do you know? Em We're off the bridge, and

we're out of control
G Oh, hey Joe,

what is it called?
A
That's right
"Giving up a piece of you

to let go"
D Hey Joe, what do you know? Em We're off the bridge,

all Marilyn Monroe
G Oh, hey Joe, what is called?
A
That's right
"Giving up a piece of you
N.C.
to let go"
