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

Friday nights on the seventh floor
Fourth of July, Brooklyn’s on fire!
Paper backs on the corner store
Fourth of July, Brooklyn’s on fire!

Looking over the ledge
The sidewalk traffic starts to spread
Summer’s begun across the bay
And no bit of silence remains

Oh, Brooklyn’s on fire
And it fills July hearts with desire
Sleep will not come, until the morn
Cause tonight your memories are born
La dee da, la dee da de da de daa

And the band’s not begun just yet
Fourth of July, Brooklyn’s on fire!
Fifty names you’re bound to forget
Fourth of July, Brooklyn’s on fire!

Black and blue on the lakes
Wear badges from happier days
Late in the night, in ‘84
Walked in through the old out door

Oh, Brooklyn’s on fire
And it fills July hearts with desire
Sleep will not come, until the morn
Cause tonight your memories are born
La dee da, la dee da de da de daa

no words
Fourth of July, Brooklyn’s on fire!
no words
Fourth of July, Brooklyn’s on fire!

I’m caught in the way
Of tears from much happier days
When we were young and unafraid
Of stupid mistakes that we made

Oh, Brooklyn’s on fire
And it fills July hearts with desire
Sleep will not come, until the morn
Cause tonight your memories are born
La dee da, la dee da de da de daa

end on C.
