[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"
