Really simple song that is fun to play and sing. Capo on the 3rd fret. Listen to the to get the strumming pattern. The chord I've called C2 = 020010 C Friday nights on the seventh floor G Fourth of July, Brooklyn's on fire! C Paper backs on the corner store G Fourth of July, Brooklyn's on fire! Dm G Looking over the ledge C C2 Am The sidewalk traffic starts to spread Dm G Summer's begun across the bay C C2 Am And no bit of silence remains Dm G Oh, Brooklyn's on fire C C2 Am And it fills July hearts with desire Dm G Sleep will not come, until the morn C C2 Am Cause tonight your memories are born F G La dee da, la dee da de da de daa C And the band's not begun just yet G Fourth of July, Brooklyn's on fire! C Fifty names you're bound to forget G Fourth of July, Brooklyn's on fire! Dm G Black and blue on the lakes C C2 Am Wear badges from happier days Dm G Late in the night, in '84 C C2 Am Walked in through the old out door Dm G Oh, Brooklyn's on fire C C2 Am And it fills July hearts with desire Dm G Sleep will not come, until the morn C C2 Am Cause tonight your memories are born F G La dee da, la dee da de da de daa C no words G Fourth of July, Brooklyn's on fire! C no words G Fourth of July, Brooklyn's on fire! Dm G I'm caught in the way C C2 Am Of tears from much happier days Dm G When we were young and unafraid C C2 Am Of stupid mistakes that we made Dm G Oh, Brooklyn's on fire C C2 Am And it fills July hearts with desire Dm G Sleep will not come, until the morn C C2 Am Cause tonight your memories are born F G La dee da, la dee da de da de daa end on C.
