For those looking to play this song on an acoustic guitar this was how I sounded it out.
Intro (Sounds strange because of brass section)
C-G-Am-F
C-G-F-G
C G
I still remember that night it was the fourth of July
Am E F
Still engraved in my mind and I'm not sur-prised
F C
Gang wars no guns hand to hand
F G C
You're black I'm white he's purple but I still don't under-stand
C G
I'm gonna be alright I'm gonna be okay
Am C F
Everything is going to be fi-i-i-i-ine
F C
back off cause I wanna be alone
F G F
I want to think it out and I'm thinking that I want to go home.
F Am
Look who's laughing now.
F G
I'll pull it off somehow.
(Chorus)
F G C Am F
As I passed her by, I could see her cry-y-y
F G C Am
and I'll never forget the look that was in her eye
F G C Am
and the music you know it played on & and on & on
Am F G C
so won't somebody tap her on the shoulder tell her life goes on.
C-G-Am-F
C-G-F-G
C G
3 years 2 months 1 week 4 days
Am E F
I'm always counting down cause there ain't no easier way
F C
trust me you know that I tried
F G C
and if I said it was easy then you know that I told a lie.
C G Am
I'm going to be al-right
Am C F
I'm going to be just fine.
F C
One down five billion to go.
F G F
Am I the next in line and do I really want to know?
F Am
Look who's laughing now.
F G
I'll pull it off somehow.
(Chorus)
F G C Am F
As I passed her by, I could see her cry-y-y
F G C Am
and I'll never forget the look that was in her eye
F G C Am
and the music you know it played on & and on & on
Am F G C
so won't somebody tap her on the shoulder tell her life goes on.
___________
The rest of the song is repetition of all of the same chords mostly with just the two
back to back.
If you look up the lyrics or listen to the song you'll see what I mean but its pretty
to figure out.
