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

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
