Bob Dorough – Fireworks chords

FromSchoolhouseRock
Capo 1st fret
G7Oh, there's going to be fireworks (fireworks!)
On the Fourth of July (red, white, and blue!)
C7 Red, white, and blue fireworks
                           D7Like diamonds in the sky. (diamonds in the sky!)
                                         C7We're going to shoot the entire works on fireworks
 
That really show, oh yeah
G7We declared our liberty 200 years ago

 Yeah!
G7In 1776 (fireworks!)
                                          C7 There were fireworks too (red, white, and blue!)
The original colonists
                                         D7You know their tempers blew (They really blew!)
Like Thomas Paine once wrote:
      C7It's only common sense (only common sense)
G7That if a government won't give you your basic rights
C7You'd better get another government
B7                              CAnd though some people tried to fight it
B7                              CWell, a committee was formed to write it:
A7Benjamin Franklin, Philip Livingston
D7John Adams, Roger Sherman, Thomas Jefferson
They got it done (Oh yes they did!)
                    G7 The Declaration, uh-huh-huh
The Declaration of Independence (oh yeah!)
In seventeen hundred seventy six (right on!)
C7The Continental Congress said that we were free (we're free!)
D7                    C#7 C7 Said we had the right of life and liberty
      B7   D7 . . . And the pursuit of happiness!
G7Oh, when England heard the news (kerpow!)
They blew their stack (they really blew their cool!)
C7But the colonists lit the fuse
There'd be no turning back (no turning back!)
D7They'd had enough of injustice now
    C7But even if it really hurts, oh yeah
G7If you don't give us our freedom now
             C7You're going to see some fireworks!
B7                        CAnd on the Fourth of July they signed it
B7           CAnd 56 names underlined it
        A7 And now to honor those first 13 states
            D7  We turn the sky into a birthday cake
They got it done (oh yes, they did!)
                 G7                  The Declaration, uh-huh-huh
 The Declaration of Independence (oh yeah!)
                                  C7 In seventeen hundred seventy six (right on!)
                                   G7The Continental Congress said that we were free (we're free!)
                D7                G7 Said we had the right of life and liberty
      B7              D7. . . And the pursuit of happiness!
G  G7We hold these truths to be self-evident
CThat all men are created equal
                  GAnd that they are endowed by their creator
              D7With certain inalienable rights
C                                   GThat among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
       D                               CAnd if there's one thing that makes me happy
Then you know that it's (oh)
G7There's going to be fireworks!
